Hi All,
Is anyone knows, how to disable enter key for JTextArea?

If someone types something in a JTextArea and presses Enter key, then cursor goes down (Starts a new line).
What I want is to disable that action and cursor should be as it is without moving to a new line when user presses the enter key.

Please help me.

Thank you

Oh Thank you very much for the early reply. Thanks for the help as well.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
