    JTextArea

    Hello,
    How can I restrict JTextArea to allow only 255 Words. Any Suggestions?
    Regards.

    Add a listener to the JTextArea. When the text changes get the string and limit as neccessary. Then write the updated length text back to the area.

    I suppose you mean chars and not words although it doesn't really matter.
