How can I add text to a JTextArea instead of replacing all of it?
I know about setText(String) but other than that I'm a bit lost.

To add text to a textarea, access the value property on the element and set it to its current value plus the text to be appended, e.g. textarea. value += 'Appended text' . The value property can be used to get and set the content of a textarea element.
When you want to create a new line or wrap in your TextArea you have to add \n (newline) after the text. TextArea t = new TextArea(); t.
The main difference between JTextField and JTextArea in Java is that a JTextField allows entering a single line of text in a GUI application while the JTextArea allows entering multiple lines of text in a GUI application.
You can use the append method like this:
textArea.append(additionalText);
