在jTextArea中显示超链接

Question

I did a search engine where I can enter some words and find the links where this words appears. But when I display this links, I am displaying it as string, and I want to display it as hyperlinks, that the user can click and connect to the site. I used the solutions I found here on stackoverflow, but none of then worked.

Does anyone knows how can I do it? At the moment, I am displaying the results inside a jTextArea.

You can't use a JTextArea. A JTextArea only displays simple text.

You need to display HTML in a JEditorPane and add the links using HTML. Then you add a HyperLinkListener to the editor pane.

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Editor Panes for general information and examples.

Read the JEditorPane API for an example on how to create a HyperLinkListener and respond to mouse clicks.
