Html In Jlabel Not Showing

JLabel label = new JLabel('Hello world'); shows nothing. If I get rid of the tags, it shows plain text (as expected), so the JLa

Solution 1:

If you want to mix fonts or colors within the text, or if you want formatting such as multiple lines, you can use HTML. HTML formatting can be used in all Swing buttons, menu items, labels, tool tips, and tabbed panes, as well as in components such as trees and tables that use labels to render text.

Refer this example HtmlDemo.java

In your example 

 JLabel label = new JLabel("<html><body>Hello world</body></html>");

you are not applying any formating like <b>bold</b> or <i>italic</i> etc..

also <body></body> is not required.

Hope it helps.

Solution 2:

I have tested your JLabel and JEditorPane code in Eclipse using the latest Windows JDK, using several different look-and-feels, but they all work just fine. I know you're using OpenJDK but I can't get hold of a version for Windows. I'm guessing there is a difference in the two implementations.

Might I suggest wrapping your text inside a paragraph, such as "<html><body><p>Hello world</p></body></html>"?
