Applet: read file and display properly

[weasel669]

I'm trying to read a file on the same system as the applet and display it in an applet window. my problem is the file which includes line breaks displays on one line. how can i fix this???

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.io.*;

public class Simple extends Applet {

    StringBuffer buffer;

    public void init() {
		buffer = new StringBuffer();
        readTextFromJar("datafile.txt");
    }

    public void readTextFromJar(String s) {
		String thisLine;
		try {
			InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(s);
      		BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
         	(new InputStreamReader(is));
      		while ((thisLine = br.readLine()) != null) {  
         		System.out.println(thisLine);
         		buffer.append(thisLine);
         		repaint();
         	}
      	}
    	catch (Exception e) {
      		e.printStackTrace();
      	}
	}

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.drawRect(0, 0, size().width - 1, size().height - 1);
        g.drawString(buffer.toString(), 5, 20);
    }
}

repaint();

}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{

g.drawRect(0, 0, size().width - 1, size().height - 1);

if (lineCount>0)
{
for (int i=0;i<=lineCount;i++)
{
g.drawString(line, 5, i*15+20);
}
}
}
}

Can you just not change this line :

buffer.append(thisLine);

to :

buffer.append(thisLine +"\n");
