  To display text messages (as - for example - in a window with
  log messages) in a scrolling text area, there are several
  Swing components I am aware of:

http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html
http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextPane.html
http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/javax/swing/JEditorPane.html

  I might want to subclass one of them for my +log area2. While
  I only think of plain text output now, more features, such as
  different typefaces or text colors might come in handy later.

  I also might want to use one of them in teaching, when showing
  how to display log messages in a GUI.
 
  It seems that JEditorPane has more features than the other two.
  So should I always use JEditorPane for such purposes, or are there
  any reasons to use one of JTextArea or JTextPane sometimes?
