JTable.setValueAt does not fold string

[mydavor]

javax.swing.JTable tableEnv = new javax.swing.JTable();
tableEnv.setValueAt((Object)EnvText1, 0, 0);
String EnvText1 = "ENERGY USE AND GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS" + "\n " + "What effect will the proposal have on energy" + "\n " + "consumption and greenhouse gas emissions";

I am trying to insert a string in row 0, column 0 of the above JTable. But EnvText1's new line characters ("\n") get lost and EnvText1 is one contnuous string. Is there a way to insert a string in a JTable field so that nicely folds on \n ??

The default TableCellRenderer in a JTable is an instance of JLabel, and that displays only a line of text. You have several options:

Either use HTML (described here, stated here).

Another option is changing (extending) the DefaultTableCellRenderer.

Or you choose the really flexible option (that's what I do regularly), dive into it and look at How to use Tables, they explain how you create your own TableCellRenderers and TableCellEditors.
