java jasper-reports newline line-breaks

I've just started using Jasper Reports to generate reports from data retrieved using Hibernate. Everything is working, except JR doesn't seem to respect newline characters (\n) in text fields. Is there a way to force line breaks at newline characters?

Set the isStyledText to true (tick it) and to break the line use <br/>.

Example: 

text + "<br/>" + newLineText
