How to split a frame into views with multiple lines

I'm doing this program with NetBeans and I need: a Frame with a split view, fitting the frame's width, each view has multiple lines, where I add/remove strings, these strings can have a particular font and colors.

Can you provide me some examples or which classes should I use to resolve the problem ?

Thanks @trashgod, this is gonna really help me. About the layouts, i've build in netbeans a jframe that it expands to the full resolution of the screen in use, and inside of it i'd want ,as you suggested to me, 2 JTextPane half the jframe's width side by side that resize themselves when the jframe expands...until now i tried setSize() and setPreferredSize() on each JTextPane, but so far nothing...any idea why isn't working? here's my code

    Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    int width = (int)screenSize.getWidth();
    int height = (int)screenSize.getHeight();
    System.out.println(width +" x "+ height);
    this.setSize(width,height);
    Dimension dimTextArea1 = new Dimension((width/2),height);
    Dimension dimTextArea2 = new Dimension((width/2),height);
    jTextPane1.setPreferredSize(dimTextArea1);
    jTextPane2.setPreferredSize(dimTextArea2);

You can use a StyledDocument in a JTextPane, illustrated here, usng any of a variety of layouts.

Addendum: I'd want…half the frame's width side-by-side that resize themselves when the frame expands…I tried setSize() and setPreferredSize().

Don't use setPreferredSize(). Do add your two text panes to a GridLayout(1, 0), which means "one row & some arbitrary number of columns". After pack(), use setExtendedState() as shown here.
