Class Description

EOTextArea, a subclass of javax.swing.JScrollPane, is used to represent scrolling text regions. An EOTextArea object uses a JTextArea to do its work. The main business of an EOTextArea is to configure the JTextArea's behavior and appearance. An EOTextArea's JTextArea has a vertical scroll bar but not a horizontal scroll bar and it wraps its lines of text. If you want to perform additional configuration on an EOTextArea's JTextArea, you can access the JTextArea with the method jTextArea.

Note: This class doesn't exist in the com.apple.yellow.eointerface package.
