Scanner and JTextField?

Hey

I am currently using the terminal to enter commands into my "game"
using

reader = new Scanner(System.in);
String inputLine = reader.nextLine();

This works fine, but I now have an interface which I would like to be
able to use instead of the terminal. I have a JTextField which is where
users will type in commands.

Any way to utilise the scanner with a JTextArea?

new Scanner(field.getText())

Although, obviously the UI is going to suck if the text area is
unconstrained yet requires a particular format.
