You need to use another JTextArea method: append(...)

area.setText("\n" + c);
area.append("Number of lines " + x);

I don;t think you can use appen on JTextArea.
If not try it on TextArea (not JTextArea)

Straight from the API documentation for the JTextArea class:

void append(String str)
Appends the given text to the end of the document.

About that TextArea, that's an AWT thing; you don't want to go there.

kind regards,

From what do you base this recommendation on?

Myself, I agree with the other recommendations: it is fine to use append with JTextArea.
