Re: JScrollPane + auto-scroll to the last appended line

Hello
I have an un-editable JScrollPane (a simple JtextArea). I append lines
to it when some events in my program happen.

I would like to ask how to make the scrollpane to scroll always down to
the last appened line. Currently the scroll pane's viewport stays in
the original place. When the pane is full, more lines are added, the
scroll bar appears, but it doesn't automatically scroll to the last
appended line. I have to scroll it manually to see the newest line
appended. How can I avoid it?

I 've searched the documentation but I had problems finding the correct
terminology to find this out.

Thanks

Something like this...

textArea.setCaretPosition(textArea.getText().length());

Thanks in Advance...
