Jtextfield: how to make left side of the text visible

Thread view:

I have a Jtextfield in the GUI. I want it to be left aligned and always
the start of the text to be visible. But I see that when the text
length is smaller than the Jtextfield width, the text is correctly left
aligned and whole text is visible.
However if the text is longer than the width of textfield, I see the
end of the text visible in the textfield. How can I fix it, so always
the start of text is visible.

Is this textfield supposed to be editable? I'd be rather unhappy if I
had to type into a textfield that wouldn't show me the tail end of
what I'm typing.
