JLabel – Show longer text as multiple lines?

by

Just another example, showing that, with the right layout manager, text wrapped in HTML tags will automatically wrap to the available space…

enter image description here

public class TestHTMLLabel {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestHTMLLabel();
    }

    public TestHTMLLabel() {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }

                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(64);
                sb.append("<html>I have something to say, it's beter to burn out then to fade away.").
                                append("  This is a very long String to see if you can wrap with in").
                                append("the available space</html>");

                JLabel label = new JLabel(sb.toString());

                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                frame.add(label);
                frame.setSize(100, 100);
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }    
        });
    }        
}
