and how to do that, i have searched in google and i can not find , most of i found were JTextArea (Swing) not TextArea (Awt)
i have a piece of code below, i want to create a text editor with a title. If user click on textarea and typing something, the title will be added a symbol "*" before default title, so the title will be look like this " *untitled "

how to add keylistener??
thanks

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class MyTextarea extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

    private TextArea textarea = new TextArea("",0,0,TextArea.SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY);
    
    public MyTextarea(){
        //contructor
        setSize(500, 400);
        setTitle("Free TextEditor v.0.1");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);//kalo pakai JFrame
        add(textarea);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        //
    }
    
    public static void main(String args[]){
        MyTextarea notepad = new MyTextarea();
        notepad.setVisible(true);
    }
    
}

You shouldn't mix AWT and Swing visual components, so, since you're using JFrame, you should use JTextArea, in which case, you can use a DocumentListener

It used to be because the way awt components related to their windowing peers in the OS conflicted with the way Swing components did so. That's not nearly so much of a problem now, but mixing them still muddies the design. One or the other should be used. The question is, why would you want to mix them anyway?

He did. My comments still apply. And if you run that code on an old enough vm, it's quite possible you'll get windowing problems

Probably unlikely to get problems. Why not just use a tutorial that doesn't mix AWT and Swing?

i don't know but, i think mixing awt and swing is a unique, so, i'm trying this.
and also, i have not found a tutorial how to create a notepad using SWING only.

Oracle docs, i will try read it,

So put a JTextArea in it I doubt there are much differences if any...
Kind of useless in 2012 to learn how a TextArea works

will TextArea be deprecated??

It means that using AWT gui components is the old way of doing things. Unless you have a very good reason, you should use Swing
