Let the TextArea determine for itself whether or not it needs scrollbars. There's
a contructor that does the job:

public TextArea(String text, int rows, int columns, int scrollbars)

... also have a look at the API docs for this class.

kind regards,

ps. are you sure you don't want Swing's JTextArea instead?

Did you read the API docs for this constructor? I bet you didn't.

The way i have used it before isnt probably the best way but it works. You can add the textarea to the scrollbar. And then the scrollbar to the panel.

i think its just one of the scrollbar.add() method.

That's not necessary: the TextArea can take care of all that itself. See my
previous replies.
