1 : JTextField does not support multiline. what you want is a JTextArea
2 : Newlines aren't the same on all systems, you might have to use "\r\n" if you are running Windows. Since Java 7, there is System.LineSeparator to solve this issue.
(see the Oracle documentation)
You can't get multi-line behavior on single-line JTextField,
use JTextArea instead
info:
JTextArea taText = new JTextArea();
taText.setText("\tHI\nMY name\nis Raku");
