You can look at Message Console . I hope this will satisfy your need.

If you wants to use the JTextArea for logging purpose I would suggest to use some logging framework and render the output to the JTextArea or JTextPane. JTextPane will give you flexibility to add the content in different color as well. My favorite is Log4j. You would have choice to customize them.

You can also choose according to your need. Here is the list of comprehensive logging framework.
