Instead of using JTextArea setText String text   use JTextArea append String text       Appends the given text to the end of the document  Does nothing if the model is null or the string is null or empty     This will add text on to the end of your JTextArea   Another option would be to use getText   to get the text from the JTextArea  then manipulate the String  add or remove or change the String   then use setText String text  to set the text of the JTextArea to be the new String

When you want to create a new line or wrap in your TextArea you have to add  n  newline  after the text   TextArea t   new TextArea    t setText  insert text when you want a new line add  nThen more text       setBounds    setFont    add t     This is the only way I was able to do it  maybe there is a simpler way but I havent discovered that yet
