Display multiple lines within a Jlist cell

Question

How can I display multiple lines within a single cell of a JList. In jtable, it is achieved by adding a JTextarea to the table cell renderer. Similiarly, Is there any code to add a custom cell renderer for a JList that holds a textarea? If yes, can you please give me a code snippet for the same?

Or do you think there is any other better method to display multiple lines within the cell of Jlist instead of using a textarea? please help me!!

please simply _do_ it: it's exactly the same mechanics as for a TableCellRenderer. If you did and experienced any problems, come back with the concrete question as to what doesn't work as you expected. — kleopatra, Apr 12 '11 at 11:35

Beside usage of HTML code in Swing component (like Jigar says), you can also specify a ListCellRenderer that uses a TextArea, exactly like you do in your JTable.

Remember to wrap your HTML with tags: "line one
linetwo" http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3070484/can-items-in-a-jlist-be-formatted-as-html – Bjorn Mar 12 '14 at 13:35
