Java Swing - problem insert component in JTextPane

Question

The below given program insert a new JTextArea on button click. Everytime new TextArea is inserted in new Line. The program is working fine on Linux machine but not on windows machine. On windows machine it is giving me BadLocationException . Can anyone please tell me the solution of this problem. Thanks in advance.

import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.StyledDocument;

public class TestPane extends javax.swing.JFrame {

/** Creates new form TestPane */
StyledDocument doc = null;
public TestPane() {
    initComponents();
    doc = jTextPane1.getStyledDocument();
    //BoxLayout messageLayout = new BoxLayout(jScrollPane1,BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
    //jTextPane1.setLayout(messageLayout);
}

Answer 1

Do you really mean to do insertComponent() each time actionPerformed() gets called? I'd have expected something more like this:

private void insertMessage() {
    try {
        doc.insertString(jTextPane1.getText().length(),
           "Hi, this is StackOverflow.\n", null);
    } catch (BadLocationException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Addendum: Comparing this with your previous question on the same topic, you should consider whether you want to insert text or a text component in the scroll pane. Also, NetBeans' GUI designer has matured considerably, but it doesn't lend itself well to short examples.
