Centering Text in a JTextArea or JTextPane - Horizontal Text Alignment
104,020
You need to use a JTextPane and use attributes. The following should center all the text:
StyledDocument doc = textPane.getStyledDocument();
SimpleAttributeSet center = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setAlignment(center, StyleConstants.ALIGN_CENTER);
doc.setParagraphAttributes(0, doc.getLength(), center, false);
Edit:
Vertical centering is not supported as far as I know. Here is some code you might find useful: Vertical Alignment of JTextPane

Is there a way to create horizontally centered text for a JTextArea like with a JTextField?
setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
Is there a way I can accomplish the same thing with a multi-line text area? I can't find a method for it with JTextArea, so is there another option? JTextPane? If so, how?
