I'm new into Java and tried creating a simple GUI.

Took me about 3 hours until i've found out that I must put a JTextArea into a JScollPane and not the other way around to display the textarea with a working scrollbar.

I love this already.

(I'm also a new devRant user, so... Hey :] !)

Check out JavaFX I think it's more intuitive than swing.

Thanks for the welcome and information. I'm making a small text adventure game.

I also heard thatJavaFX is better.
I'll check JavaFX out as soon as I'm done with this small project :).
