How to make dialog show multiple line?

I am trying to make dialog show the all answers in one dialog but in multiple lines and I got no idea because after I add \n it show \n in the line too here is my code (I just deleted \n line as it doesn't work at all)

Scanner keyboard= new Scanner (System.in);

int firstnumber= Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter the first number"));


int secondnumber= Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter the second number"));

int minus= firstnumber - secondnumber;
int sum= firstnumber + secondnumber;  //sum the first number and second number
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null,"" + firstnumber + " + " + secondnumber + " = " + sum + ""+firstnumber+"-"+secondnumber+"="+minus,  "Result", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

You could use this:

public static String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");

Then type newline in the string to add a newline.

I think the text needs to be in a multiline container, such as JTextArea, otherwise it's just interpreted as plain text.

See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/textarea.html for implementation
