How to include a line number in a Text Area

[chyrl]

Greetings,

How would I implement this to a text area component (like JTextArea, or JEditorPane) wherein each line a encode; there exists a line counter the increments with respect to the number of lines in the text area?

Can you help me determine what classes, methods, implementation I am to utilize to have this output.

To clearly visualize this, this is similar to the line counter of some IDEs (Netbeans, Eclipse, etc.).

Thanks,
Cyril H.
