JTextArea

multiline display of text on the screen. Sometimes you permit the user to edit it. You can control where the line breaks are by embedding '\n' characters in your text. The AWT equivalent is called a TextArea. AWT TextArea has an advantage over JTextArea. Without any coding, the user can select, copy and paste, even in an unsigned Applet.
