Swing JOptionPane shows </html> tag as a string after newline

        For example, in the code snippet below: I do something like this

               String Message = "<html>" + "This is a test\n" + "</html>";
                   JOptionPane dialog = new JOptionPane();
                   dialog.setMessage(Message);
                   dialog.setMessageType(JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
                   dialog.setOptions(buttons);
                   dialog.setOptionType(JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION);
                   dialog.setInitialValue(buttons[0]);

        When the dialog is displayed, it showed:
        "This is a test
        </html>"

        Now, if I don't have a linefeed "\n" (or tab "\t") in my message, this it's okay.
        The dialog will display "This is a test"

        So, the problem here is that "</html> is display in the GUI dialog box.

        Is this a known issue? I tried this with both JDK 1.4 and 1.5 beta3 and the symptom is the same.

        A long html message will also be broken up into multiple lines if the method JOptionPane.getMaxCharactersPerLineCount() is overridden to return a limiting value. The first line is then formatted correctly, but subsequent lines show raw html tags.
