You might look at the class Clipboard:

See java.awt.DataTransfer

To see how to use it, have a look at the source code for

Basic cut, copy and paste just work on JTextComponents. What exactly do
you want to do?

TextArea, or JTextArea? They are different, you should probably be
using the latter.

javax.swing.text has some default actions for the Edit menu. Most of
Swing's components work correctly already, no need to do anything to
them. To set up the Edit menu, use something like this:

public static void setUpXCVEditMenu( javax.swing.JMenu menu )
{
javax.swing.JMenuItem menuItem;

menuItem = new javax.swing.JMenuItem(
new javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit.CutAction());
menuItem.setText("Cut");
menuItem.setMnemonic(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_T);
menu.add(menuItem);
menuItem = new javax.swing.JMenuItem(
new javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit.CopyAction());
menuItem.setText("Copy");
menuItem.setMnemonic(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_C);
menu.add(menuItem);
menuItem = new javax.swing.JMenuItem(
new javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit.PasteAction());
menuItem.setText("Paste");
menuItem.setMnemonic(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_P);
menu.add(menuItem);

}

You might like to look at JTextArea‭, ‬which is‭ "‬a lightweight component‭ ‬
that provides source compatibility with the java.awt.TextArea class‭." ‬It‭ ‬
supports the editing activities you require with straightforward code‭, ‬
such as Mark Space suggested‭:‬

‭<‬http‭://‬java.sun.com/javase/6‭/‬docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html‭>‬
‭<‬http‭://‬java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/text.html‭>‬
