#38476 — Is there an easy way to show new lines?

I'm using JTextArea and calling setLineWrap(true).  How can I let a user know where they have one line wrapped to display as two and where they have a hard carriage return?

A quick Google only finds that a JTextArea is not made to display the carriage returns, that you can do this with a JTextPane, which is kind of a pain.  JTextPane is not a drop in replacement, doesn't have the insert method much less the setLineWrap() or setWrapStyleWord(), so I'd somehow have to show 2 controls to use the JTextPane making that read only and reflecting the changes in the JTextArea?
