java - Set label layout in panels -

in frame, i'm adding labels for, in panel. problem can't solve is adding label on same line whereas want add \n between 1 , generate column! i've no idea how it. help? thank you!

the key believe layout of container holding jlabels. if give container proper layout such boxlayout oriented along page_axis, or gridlayout(0, 1) 1 column variable number of rows, jlabels stack 1 on top of other.

e.g.,

import java.awt.gridlayout; import javax.swing.*;  public class stackinglabels extends jpanel {     public static final string[] texts = { "sunday", "monday", "tuesday",             "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday" };      public stackinglabels() {         setlayout(new gridlayout(0, 1));         (string text : texts) {             add(new jlabel(text));         }     }      private static void createandshowgui() {         stackinglabels mainpanel = new stackinglabels();          jframe frame = new jframe("stackinglabels");         frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.dispose_on_close);         frame.getcontentpane().add(mainpanel);         frame.pack();         frame.setlocationbyplatform(true);         frame.setvisible(true);     }      public static void main(string[] args) {         swingutilities.invokelater(new runnable() {             public void run() {                 createandshowgui();             }         });     } } 

another thought use jlist display strings rather stacked jlabels.
