"\n" newline and %n does not work to begin newline

Question

I was putting simple loading animation to my previous code but I can't fine a way to begin new line when its showing the result.

JFrame frame = new JFrame("Max");

ImageIcon loading = new ImageIcon("ajax-loader.gif");
frame.add(new JLabel("Processing to Result \n Result of Maximum is : "+max, loading,
                                                                       JLabel.CENTER));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(400, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);

enter image description here

I also try to use newline and %n but both does not work.

How did you add the circular progress bar ? I am curious to know :) — An SO User, Sep 01 '13 at 08:07

There is no easy way to add new line to JLabel without HTML tags.

You should do something like that:

frame.add(new JLabel("<html>Processing to Result <br> Result of Maximum is :" + max + 
           "</html>", loading,JLabel.CENTER));

If you want, you can switch to SwingX, it does support that without HTML tags :)

A JLabel by default does not do any formatting. However you can use simply HTML tags to achieve what you want:

String label = "<html>Processing to Result<br>Result of Maximum is : "+max + "</html>;
frame.add(new JLabel(label, loading, JLabel.CENTER));
