How do i append a new text at JLabel?

Question

I read, some StackOverflow questions that I need to use HTML stuffs. But what would be the easiest it without any of HTML stuff.

Here's the code

label.setText(label.getText() + (String)boxTimes.getSelectedItem() + input);

This code will produce this

What I want is:

You must know a bit of basic String format:

\\n line break
\\t tab

So your code will be like:

String myLabel = 
      // 4
      label.getText() + "\n\n" + 
      // 7:00
      (String)boxTimes.getSelectedItem() + "\t" +
      // - Going out....
      "- " + input;

label.setText(myLabel);

But as long as JLabel does not accept \\n as Abishek Manoharan pointed, you must use <br> .

String  myLabel = 
    "<html>" + 
        label.getText() + 
        "<br/><br/>" +
        (String)boxTimes.getSelectedItem() + " - " + input + 
    "</html>;

label.setText(myLabel);

I was faced with the same problem too and couldn't find a viable solution.
So I went ahead and used a JTextArea instead of JLabel .

JTextArea label = new JTextArea();
label.setEditable(false);
label.setBackground(null);

It gives the same look and feel of a JLabel
You can use '\\n' and '\\t' as you like,
and what more, the text is selectable which is not possible in JLabel.
