The new line \ n does not work in JButton.setText ("fnord \ nfoo");

Question

On JButton, I want to list information on several lines. I tried \n as a newline character, but that didn't work. The following code:

 JButton.setText("fnord\nfoo") ;

will display as:

 fnordfoo

How to force a line break?

JButton accepts HTML, so to break the line use:

  JButton.setText("<html>fnord<br />foo</html>");
