newline character in String

How do i give a newline character in a long strinf such that if i give System.out.println() then the string is printed on 2 different lines! Although i have asked for something simple but there is a urgent need to do so in my application!

Is:System.out.println("Here is line 1" + "\n" + "... and here is line 2");... what you're after?SA.

Except, it's bad practice to use "\n". Better to use System.getProperty(xxx) to get the newline character for your particular operating system.
