It is highly inconvenient heaving to overload JOptionPane
just to be able to set the maximum number of characters per
line (by overriding the getMaxCharactersPerLineCount method).
The need to d this also is pretty inconvenient because then
your subclass can't use the many static methods provided in
the JOptionPane class because they all create instances of
'JOptionPane' and not of your derived class.

Thus I would like to request the creation of a method called
'setMaxCharactersPerLineCount' that allows to set the required
value directly in the 'JOptionPane' class and it would follow
the general 'set/get' methodology introduced in Java.
