What java are you running on?

It may be differrent im-lementation of pre/plaintex/br or whatever. I do not recall this beaviour.


however - if you switch off formating. it is ok.

Yes, because newline is presented. Only ignored in html output. in pre - both \n and br are here. 
Still not working for you :(

I get used  to like them in console output :)

multiple lines - yes. Multiple chars? no :(( So the builder is stil needed - and it will not solve 
the wrap, nor wrong escaping/not escaping :(

Is the Java Console limited and unable to do this? Maybe we can modify Java Console to support what we need;;


Well I created this console :)) So any fixes welcomed!


Issue is that it is using html formating for rich text. See how differently are processed plain/rich 
outputs from raw messages and how handlers are done...



I think, that the fact that the line jnlp is on one line deosnot metter. If you swithc to plaintext 
console, it is correct.
But I cannot survive, that formatting of anything after it is broken :(

Maybe adding <> escaping to console inisdes is the only way...
