Java Program to set JTextArea to wrap by word in Java

To set JTextAream to wrap by word, you need to use the setWrapStyleWord(). Let’s say we have created a new JTextArea and set demo text −

JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea("This is a text displayed for our example.
More content is added in it now. More content is added in it now. We will now wrap this text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");

Now, wrap by word and set it TRUE −

textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true)

The following is an example to set JTextArea to wrap by word −

Example

package my;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.*;
public class SwingDemo {
   SwingDemo() {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
      JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea("This is a text displayed for our example.
      More content is added in it now. More content is added in it now. We will now wrap this text!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
      textArea.setLineWrap(true);
      textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
      frame.add(textArea);
      frame.setSize(550,300);
      frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 2));
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      new SwingDemo ();
   }
}
