I have an unusual situation that would most easily be solved by being able
to duplicate a JTextArea in size and position, then to swap between them by
making each visible at different times.

I know I can duplicate the JTextArea with clone() and I can get the size to
make sure they match.  If I were working with an absolute layout, I know I
could position them both at the same place and switch between them by
making one visible while the other isn't.  However, I'll be working with
other layouts types and I don't have access to the container the first one
is in.

Is there some fairly easy way I can duplicate the first JTextArea and swap
the two in and out without messing up other components or the display?

Thanks!

Hal
