I have a JLabel which has a lot of text on it. Is there a way to make the JLabel have a max width so that it will wrap the text to make it not exceed this width?

    You can use HTML without hard coding break tags if you use paragraph tags instead.

    JLabel biglabel = new JLabel("<html><p>A lot of text to be wrapped</p></html>");

    If you only want to use JLabel than you can try this approach,

    just display the number of characters you want to display on label using substring method.

    public void setLabel(String label){
        String dispLabel=label.substring(0, numOfCharacter);
        labelComponent.setText(dispLabel);
    }

    or simply use

    myLabel.setText("<html>"+ myString +"</html>");

    <html> wrapping works but not in all cases. If the parent container uses FlowLayout then it'll not work. Therefore I set it to BoxLayout. Look at this code snippet:

    javax.swing.JPanel pRefundNote = new javax.swing.JPanel(); 
    javax.swing.JLabel lbNote = new javax.swing.JLabel();
    
    pRefundNote.setAlignmentX(0.0F); 
    pRefundNote.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(32767, 33)); 
    pRefundNote.setLayout(new javax.swing.BoxLayout(pRefundNote, javax.swing.BoxLayout.X_AXIS)); 
    
    lbNote.setText("<html>Select items using Shift or Ctrl and Up/Down keys or Mouse</html>"); 
    lbNote.setVerticalAlignment(javax.swing.SwingConstants.TOP);
    lbNote.setVerticalTextPosition(javax.swing.SwingConstants.TOP); 
    pRefundNote.add(lbNote);
    

    Don't add <br> because it'll break your text even if you enlarge your parent frame and pRefundNote container.

    Other than wrapping the text in <html> tags, you also have to put the label into a container that respects the preferred height and sets the width to maximum. For example, you can put the label in to the NORTH of a BorderLayout.

    Here is a simple but complete working program to illustrate this. You can resize the frame in any way you want; the label will occupy the whole width and the height will adjust accordingly to wrap the text. Notice that all that I'm doing is using <html> tags and putting the label in the NORTH of the BorderLayout.

    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    
    public class LabelWrap {
    
        public static JPanel createPanel() {
            JLabel label = new JLabel();
            label.setText("<html>"

                + "<p>Duis a tincidunt urna. Phasellus tristique interdum mauris, "
                + "ut vestibulum purus suscipit eget. Aenean massa elit, accumsan "

            JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
            panel.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
            panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));
            return panel;
        }

        }

    Yes there are two similar ways (first with css style="width:...px", second with html WIDTH=.......:

    1.

    labelText = String.format("<html><div style=\"width:%dpx;\">%s</div></html>", width, text);
    

    2.

    labelText = String.format("<html><div WIDTH=%d>%s</div></html>", width, text);
