Java Apache POI newline characters are ignored when writing to XWPFTable cell

Question

Hoping someone might have some experience with this. I'm using Apache POI 3.8b4 to output a table in Word 2007 format. When I do something similar to the following:

XWPFTableRow row = table.getRow(0);
String text = "A\nB\nC\nD";
row.getCell(i).setText(text);

all of my line breaks are ignored in the output in the table cell looks like

A B C D

Does anyone have any idea how to get it to properly display as

A
B
C
D

Edit: The solution was the following:

XWPFParagraph para = row.getCell(i).getParagraphs().get(0);
for(String text : myStrings){
    XWPFRun run = para.createRun();
    run.setText(text.trim());
    run.addBreak();
}

Answer 1

Have you tried adding multiple Paragraphs?

Add Paragraph

Answer 2

Try this way :

XWPFParagraph paragraph = document.createParagraph();
XWPFRun run=paragraph.createRun();
run.setText("A");
run.addBreak();
run.setText("B");
run.addBreak();
run.setText("C");
document.write(OutPutFilePath);

Answer 3

Try this way :

for(String text : myStrings){
XWPFParagraph para = row.getCell(i).getParagraphs().get(0);
XWPFRun run = para.createRun();

}

Answer 4

XWPFRun run=paragraph.createRun();
run.setText("StringValue".trim());
