You can also create a JPanel with GUI components and
display YOUR panel in the dialog.

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Yahoo\nHotmail\nGmail");

Did you try placing \n in the String where you want the new line to start?

"<html>  Some notice: <br>"
       + " - some text <br>"
       + " - some text <br>"
       + " - some text  </html>  "

hello there am is this code used for dialog boxes in java i honestly dont know wer to put that code?

Did you try placing \n in the String where you want the new line to start?

hi there,, am yes i already done that one..

EN=100;
DR=20;

When you get errors, please copy and paste the full text of the message here.

Use the + operator to concatenate Strings:
"String1" + " stuff" + " more " ==> "String1 stuff more "
The compiler will convert some primitives to Strings for you:
"String " + 1 + " more " will give "String 1 more "

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null,"\nMY SALARY IS "+EN + "\n MY DEDUCTION is" +DR );
