      This is generic statement. What value label text has once you execute this code?

      Please post the output as well.

              To support the multi line JLabel you need to implement your own UI Class to render the multiple lines.

              But there is a quick work around.
              You can use HTML tags instead of this.

              Code:
              JLabel label.setText("<html>Hello World! <br> I rule this world </html>");
