To insert a scroll bar on your new JTextPane, just use a JScrollPane: JTextPane API: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextPane.html JScrollPane API: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JScrollPane.html If you have some issues, take a look at this SO question : Java JTextPane JScrollPane Display Issue Or take a look at: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/java/threads/30283
