can JButton text span a line?

Cloud Burst · Dec 15, 2003

I want a JButton that looks something like this:

----------
| Line 1 |
| Line 2 |
----------

I DO NOT want to use an image, just text.

I tried:

JButton jb = new JButton("Line 1\nLine 2");

....but all I get is this:

----------------
| Line 1Line 2 |
----------------

Is there a way to do this?

Am I missing something obvious?

Should I use some other component?

Thanks.
