Hi all,

I'd like to be able to automatically resize a JTextArea component depending
on the text and Font that has been entered by a user. Rather than place the
component on a JScrollPane and use a scroll bar to view the text entered,
I'd like to be able to progamatically increase or decrease the height of the
JTextArea as required.

I would like to do this programmatically as there are some other related
things that I would like to happen should the JTextArea be increased or
decreased in height. I've had a look a possibly extending JScrollPane and
JScrollBar to trap the drawing of a scroll bar, and then hence increase the
JTextArea height, but I am sure there must be another way to do this easily.

Any suggestions would be greatefully received.

Regards

Nigel.
