    You need to use html tags. For example:
    JLabel text = new JLabel("<html>Worg<br>input!</html>");  //I'm not sure if the new line tag is <br> or </br>

    That should make a JLabel with the text on two different lines.

    If anything it would have been \n.

    It's <br>, or more correctly, <br/>. HTML br tag
