How to print multiple header lines with MessageFormat using a JTable

Question

I have a table called table and its filled with data, I also have a MessageFormat header I want to use as a header to print the JTable

Answer 1

You could try

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.append("Product: ");
builder.append(task.getProductName());
builder.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
builder.append("Job: ");
builder.append(task.getJobNumber());
builder.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
builder.append("Task: ");
builder.append(task.getTaskID();

MessageFormat header = new MessageFormat(builder.toString());

If this doesn't work, then you're going to have to set up your own printer job, and layout the header precisely as you want it.
