/**
 * A <code>JTextArea</code> is a multi-line area that displays plain text. 
 * It is intended to be a lightweight component that provides source 
 * compatibility with the <code>java.awt.TextArea</code> class where it can
 * reasonably do so.
 * You can find information and examples of using all the text components in
 * <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/text.html">Using Text Components</a>,
 * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial.</em>
 *
 * <p>
 * This component has capabilities not found in the
 * <code>java.awt.TextArea</code> class.  The superclass should be
 * consulted for additional capabilities.
 * Alternative multi-line text classes with
 * more capabilities are <code>JTextPane</code> and <code>JEditorPane</code>.
 * <p>
 * The <code>java.awt.TextArea</code> internally handles scrolling.  
 * <code>JTextArea</code> is different in that it doesn't manage scrolling, 
 * but implements the swing <code>Scrollable</code> interface.  This allows it 
 * to be placed inside a <code>JScrollPane</code> if scrolling
 * behavior is desired, and used directly if scrolling is not desired.
 * <p>
 * The <code>java.awt.TextArea</code> has the ability to do line wrapping. 
 * This was controlled by the horizontal scrolling policy.  Since
 * scrolling is not done by <code>JTextArea</code> directly, backward 
 * compatibility must be provided another way.  <code>JTextArea</code> has
 * a bound property for line wrapping that controls whether or
 * not it will wrap lines.  By default, the line wrapping property
 * is set to false (not wrapped).
 * <p>
 * <code>java.awt.TextArea</code> has two properties <code>rows</code>
 * and <code>columns</code> that are used to determine the preferred size.
 * <code>JTextArea</code> uses these properties to indicate the
 * preferred size of the viewport when placed inside a <code>JScrollPane</code>
 * to match the functionality provided by <code>java.awt.TextArea</code>.
 * <code>JTextArea</code> has a preferred size of what is needed to
 * display all of the text, so that it functions properly inside of
 * a <code>JScrollPane</code>.  If the value for <code>rows</code>
 * or <code>columns</code> is equal to zero,
 * the preferred size along that axis is used for
 * the viewport preferred size along the same axis.
 * <p>
 * The <code>java.awt.TextArea</code> could be monitored for changes by adding
 * a <code>TextListener</code> for <code>TextEvent</code>s. 
 * In the <code>JTextComponent</code> based
 * components, changes are broadcasted from the model via a
 * <code>DocumentEvent</code> to <code>DocumentListeners</code>. 
 * The <code>DocumentEvent</code> gives 
 * the location of the change and the kind of change if desired.
 * The code fragment might look something like:
 * <pre>
 *    DocumentListener myListener = ??;
 *    JTextArea myArea = ??;
 *    myArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(myListener);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * <dl>
 * <dt><b><font size=+1>Newlines</font></b>
 * <dd>
 * For a discussion on how newlines are handled, see
 * <a href="text/DefaultEditorKit.html">DefaultEditorKit</a>.
 * </dl>
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong> Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.
