JtextArea and JSpliPane

[gancio]

I have a problem.
I've put a JScrollPane with a JTextArea in the bottom part of a JSplitPane but when I use the "OneTouchExpandable button" to expand the bottom part my JTextArea don't resize.
Instead the top Panel works well and resize correctly.

here the SplitPane code:

splitPane.setOneTouchExpandable(true);
        splitPane.setResizeWeight(0.5);
        splitPane.setDividerLocation(0.5);
        splitPane.setContinuousLayout(true);

and other usefull code I used:

displayArea = new JTextArea();
        displayArea.setEditable(false);
        displayArea.setFont(LOG_FONT);
        displayArea.setLineWrap(true);
        JScrollPane areaScrollPane = new JScrollPane(displayArea);
        areaScrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 150));
        areaScrollPane.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(100, 50));
        areaScrollPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder
                (BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Log Text"),
                BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2,Color.GREEN)));
        displayPanel.add(areaScrollPane);

What should I do to make the bottom JTextArea to resize correctly?

Try not setting a preferredSize for the JScrollPane.

I tried.. now it resize correctly but it's too small :confused:
Setting directly the size (setSize) of the Jtextarea it works partially cause at the beginning it displays only 1 row. :confused:

I made a stupid error

JSplitPane splitPanel = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT,
                                              sudoPanel,[B]displayPanel[/B]);

Now it's working (also with PreferredSize) and new code is;

//displayPanel.add(areaScrollPane); //useless
JSplitPane splitPanel = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT,
                                              sudoPanel,[B]areaScrollPane[/B]);
