I can't find an easy way to turn off word wrap in a JTextPane. I can't use JTextArea because I need different colors for different text. I have these big ugly lines that get uglier with word wrap turned on.
JTextArea has a setLineWrap() method, but I can't find it for JTextPane. Why?

To wrap the lines of JTextArea we need to call the setLineWrap(boolean wrap) method and pass a true boolean value as the parameter. The setWrapStyleWord(boolean word) method wrap the lines at word boundaries when we set it to true .
A JTextPane is a subclass of JEditorPane. A JTextPane is used for a styled document with embedded images and components. A JTextPane is a text component that can be marked up with the attributes that are represented graphically and it can use a DefaultStyledDocument as the default model.
Okay, I found an easy solution. Put the JTextPane into the center of a JPanel with a Border layout. Then, put the JPanel into a JScrollPane.
So, the hierarchy looks like this:
JScrollPane contains everything below it and the JTextPane is inside of everything above it.
I'm not sure why this works, but it does.
