Paru,

Next time, please UseCodeTags. That will make your code so much easier to read.

I've done it for you this time, and you can see the improved result.

[Ted Smyth]

Ditch GridBag, it's a nightmare of a layout manager (in my humble opinion).

Try MigLayout!

[satishkumar janakiraman]

Try this

 
jtxta = new JTextArea();
 

instead of

jtxta = new JTextArea(225,200);
