You asked about a label, so I assumed you meant a JLabel. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/685521/multiline-text-in-jlabel — KathyA., Jun 23 '14 at 18:11

If you want to display multiline text in a JLabel, use html tags like this:

JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>First line and maybe second line</html>");

If you want to be able to control the line-break, use standard html
tags:

JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>First line<br>Second line</html>");
