new line in java

Question

Java newbie here, I'm having trouble setting a new line in this code:

String FnameTextboxText   = FnameTextbox.getText();
          String LastnameTextboxText   = LastnameTextbox.getText();
            String CourseTextboxText   = CourseTextbox.getText();
                Summary.setText("Firstname:" + " " + FnameTextboxText + "\nLastname:" + " " + LastnameTextboxText + "\nCourse:" + " " + CourseTextboxText);

Also tried something like: "\n" + "Lastname" But its no good. Do you have any idea on how to make new lines. So that it'll look like this;

    Firstname: x 
   Lastname: y 
    Course: Z

Using netbeans 6.8. On windows.

Answer 1

First, use TextArea Second, test using \r or \n or \r\n Sometimes, people use \n to make new line and sometimes, like me, use \r\n to make new line

Answer 2

I guess you need to use TextArea.
