Hi,
  Here is an implementation of a multi-line label - it simply takes a text
area and changes its look and feel to disguise the text area as a label.
(This was take from the book "Graphic JAVA 2 - Mastering the JFC" by David M.
Geary)


class MultilineLabel extends JTextArea
{
 public MultilineLabel(String s)
 {
  super(s);
 }

 public void updateUI()
 {
  super.updateUI();

  // turn on wrapping and disable editing and highlighting

  setLineWrap(true);
  setWrapStyleWord(true);
  setHighlighter(null);
  setEditable(false);

  // Set the text area's border, colors and font to
  // that of a label

  LookAndFeel.installBorder(this, "Label.border");

  LookAndFeel.installColorsAndFont(this,
          "Label.background",
          "Label.foreground",
          "Label.font");
 }
}
