RTFM. The AWT TextArea and Swing JTextArea both support a setText()
call to do what you want.

There is a method doing exactly what you want. Learn to read the API spec.
Look through
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html#method_summary
and don't forget the inherited methods (of JTextComponent) just below.
