JTextArea, JEditorPane or JTextPane: which is better suited for my application?

[Isuru Sampath]

Thanks for reading my post.

I need a component to create an application which has a simple text editor functions. Intended functions include adding, deleting and inserting characters. No need to bold, Italics, Underlining or any other fancy formatting since I'm writing the outpt to a text file. Which of the following is ideal for this purpose:

JTextArea

JEditorPane

JTextPane

Can you kindly explain any advantages of using the either component.
