Jtextfield new line problem

Question

Hey guys :-)
I seem to have a little problem with my jtextfield, it seems to be ignoring any "\n"'s i tell it to print. The code to setup my jtextfield is below and was created with jigloo for eclipse!
fileInputjTextField1 = new JTextField();
this.getContentPane().add(getFileInputjTextField1());
fileInputjTextField1.setBounds(20, 20, 420, 200);
fileInputjTextField1.setBorder(new LineBorder(new java.awt.Color(0,0,0), 1, false));And i'm setting it with...
     public void setWindowText(){
          LoadHelp helpLoader = new LoadHelp(fileName);
          fileInputjTextField1.setText(helpLoader.readInHelp());
     }The readInHelp function returns a string which contains "\n's". using println it recognises the new lines, but the text field won't.
Also, the text is appearing the the center of the box instead of the top line?
Any help appreciated :-) Am a little new to gui coding

Answer 1

This give the code below :
JTextArea textarea = new JTextArea();
textarea.setBounds(20, 20, 420, 200); // Set the dimensions
textarea.setText("line1\nline2");
