Carriage Return in Resource Bundle

[tjkun]

I'm using ResourceBundle in Java. I'd like to use carriage return in my properties file. However, it is skipped all the time.

Is there anyway I can force it not to skip carriage return

here's the list I have tried

\n, \r\n

Thanks

However, it is skipped all the time

Can you be more specific? In what circumstance is it skipped? How about you post the code you're using, along with a snippet of the ResourceBundle properties file in question?

Code snippet:

private void buildDisplay(ResourceBundle resource){
...
...
iDescLb = new JLabel(resource.getString("description"));
...
..

Properties files:
...
...
description = This is the program ... (a very long description)...

When the resource get this long string, it just messes my application. I'd like to be able to display multiple line of description. I was trying to put \n with hope to have a new line..no luck.

Any helps, thanks.

What about a "\n" or System.getPropery("line.separator")?

Cheers,

I have put \n into the description. it doesn't work. How can I put System.getProperty("line.separator") into the properties files?

Your looking at the resource contents by using a JLabel which does not support multiline text and therefore won't honour your newlines.
