I have a JTextField with rather big bounds, the text however does not behave like I want it to.

Edit:
Using JTextArea
fixed my problem. Thank you.
JTextArea
aligns to the top.
Or use a JLabel
:
JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("my text");
and the call:
myLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
myLabel.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP);
Layout managers is the another way of doing this: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html
