Is anybody know how to create a JAVA TEXT AREA with multiple color text

in each line?
(the setForegound seems can be used for single color for the whole
text.)
Thanks a lot.

That is one of ..
- Java text area (generic)
- Java TextArea (AWT)
- Java JTextArea (Swing)
..so please be specific and refrain from SHOUTING at us.

Many Swing components are 'HTML aware',
but not JTextArea's .. E.G.

<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;

class HTMLTextArea {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String content =
"<html><body><h1>Ha!</h1><p style='color: red'>Blah...";
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(content);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ta);
JLabel l = new JLabel(content);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, l);
}
}
<sscce>

One work around would be to create multiple "JAVA TEXT AREA" (one for
each line) and color code them as needed.
