How to make a caption on a JButton 2 lines

Question

I can't seem to get a JButton to have text for 2 lines...I want the first line to say "New", and the second line to say "Merge"...
I have tried several things, but I don't feel like wasting all my time figuring this out...I am sure it is something simple...anyone?

Here is a sample, this is only a sample. I does not have most the functionality of the interaction between JButton and the text on it. I do not have time to duplicate it all for you. You might try looking at the source code for JButton and its UI to see how it is handled by Sun. There is a file on your system called src.jar which has source code in it. Learn how to use the jar command (or use winzip) to get source code out of it. Learn to search the forum.import javax.swing.*;

public class Test extends JFrame {
    public Test() {
     setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
     Container content = getContentPane();
     String[] test = {"Hello","There"};
     JPanel jp = new JPanel();
     jp.add(new TestButton(test));
     content.add(jp, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
     setSize(200,200);
     show();
    public static void main( String args[] ) { new Test(); }
class TestButton extends JButton {
    String[] lines;
    public TestButton(String[] Lines) {
     lines=Lines;
     setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,20*lines.length+10));
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
     super.paintComponent(g);
     if (lines!=null) {
         for (int y=0; y<lines.length; y++) {
          g.drawString(lines[y], 10, y*20+20);
