How to put a carriage return in a String

Question

I am creating an error message on my class which is called and displayed on my JSP page.
In my string I want it to do a Carriage return. I used a \n however it just ignores it when displayed in JSP using scriplets.
Class declaration:
-- Want this line to start on the next line..
/** Used for the Error message for a text box. */
private final String TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG = "\n NOTE: The text box characters left count may not be accurate.";
Used in getDBErrors() method:
--errors is an array of error records displayed in the JSP
if(this.notes != null && this.notes.length() > 4000)
     errors.add("Notes Tab: Notes section cannot be greater than 4000 characters." +  this.TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG);
JSP Page code:
--Get the list of Errors from the class
List pbrDBErrors = editBean.getDBErrors();     
-- Display errors:
for(int l=0; l<pbrDBErrors.size(); l++)
%>
<li>
    ----------- Display ERROR Message Here
    <%= (String)pbrDBErrors.get(l) %>
</li>
<%
} %>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All the code works great - Its just the TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG is displayed on the same line as the rest of the message and it scrolls off the page.
How do it get it to do a cariage return?? \n does not seem to work.
Thanks
