How do i clear/empty JTextPane?

[Jayesh Patel]

Hello

We've got a log pane showing log entries generated
from our application. As you can image
it gets very full.

Is there any way that we can clear the logs,
basically empty the pane?

We're using an instance of JTextPane added to a
JScrollPane.

Anybody, got any ideas?

Many thanks.

didn't try it but from the top of my head

textPane.setDocument(new PlainDocument());

should work

Have you tried textPane.setText("")?

Maybe I'm not reading your question correctly but setting the text its
displaying to empty will do what I think you need.

myLogTextPane.setText("");

You could just call:
log.setText("");
See the discussion on the setText() method of JEditorPane.

I've tried both these methods but to no avail.

Would I be better of deleting the pane and adding
a new instance?

Probably not.

Instead figure out why things aren't working for you.

first, toss a few calls to the pane's parent

invalidate();
revalidate();

That might do it.

Otherwise...

It could very easily be that you aren't holding the reference to the
instance you think you are.
