If you'd read the JavaDoc for the JTextArea class you'd have seen:

"The java.awt.TextArea internally handles scrolling. JTextArea is different in that it 
doesn't manage scrolling, but implements the
swing Scrollable interface. This allows it to be placed inside a JScrollPane if 
scrolling behavior is desired, and used directly if scrolling is not
desired. "

So put your text area in a JScrollPane and set the relavbent scroll bars.

Cheers,
