Please notice the description for this mailing list/forum reads "Recommended for : People

This is a standard Java question actually. JTextField is not a multi-line text component. It is
synonymous to the html <input type="text"/>. You need one of JTextArea or JEditPane. JEditPane
will let you install your own special editor kit which can color text specially and do special
things if you ever need to do it or just look like a regular multi-line text component. I use it
mostly in case I ever have to make upgrades to my application.
