I made a program which contains many class files. On each i tried to
display some information about currently doing task, etc in a
jTextArea. but what happen is only after completion of all, it is
displaying. what should i do to display those messages step by step.

Are your classes doing all this work on the Swing event dispatch thread?

you must not tie up the Swing thread with busywork, or else the
