hi,
suppose the corresponding text for a JCheckBox is very long and won't fit on
one line, is there a natural way for it to run over to the next line? or do
I have to create a JLabel and put it below the first line of the text for
the JCheckBox.
thanks

One pretty spiffy feature of Swing is pretty much anywhere there's text
to be displayed, the text supports use of basic html to do formatting.
By putting <html></html> around the text of the JCheckBox, it will
automatically wrap the text. If you want to put the line break in a
specific location, insert a <br>. This is also handy in that you can
use <u> to underline and <b> to bold, changing fonts and text colors for
some words and not the others. You can even use the <img> tag to
insert images in the middle of text. Fool around with it and you might
be surprised at what it's capable of.
