Hi,
What I want to do is quite simple: I want to show a large output String.
The user then will press "OK"; then the output window disappears, and
the program continues.

The following code would be ok for me, but the real String I want to
show is very long (let's say 1000 characters and 100 lines), so I need
scrollbars...

Could you please tell me the simplest way to achieve this? Thanks in
advance for your help.

[snip code]

How about something like this?

import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;

public class Prova
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
         String text = "Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy "
                 + "Longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg"
                 + "Messageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss\n\n"
                 + "Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy "
                 + "Longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg"
                 + "Messageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss\n\n"
                 + "Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy "
                 + "Longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg"
                 + "Messageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss\n\n"
                 + "Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy "
                 + "Longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg"
                 + "Messageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss\n\n";

         JPanel panel = new JPanel();
         JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
         JScrollPane jScrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane);

jScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
         textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 200));
         textPane.setText(text);
         panel.add(jScrollPane);
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, panel);
         System.exit(0);
     }
}

Thanks in Advance...
