Sure, where specifically are you stuck? It sounds like you'll want to use a Swing Timer, so if you're not familiar with these, Google the Oracle tutorial on this. Otherwise please let us know if you have any specific questions that we can answer. Best of luck.

You will likely want to read the entire file into perhaps an ArrayList<String> or LinkedList<String>, and I would use the Scanner class to do this fairly easily: The Scanner Tutorial. Then you'd want to use a Swing Timer to loop through the list of Strings and display them in your JTextField: Swing Timer Tutorial

So what do you need help with???

Do you know how to read text from a file?
Do you know how to store a line of text in Java?
Do you know how to store multiple lines of text?
Do you know how to create a JTextField?
Do you know how to change the text in the text field?
Do you know how to write a loop?
Do you know how to schedule an activity every 2 minutes?
Do you know how to use an if statement to determine if you are at the end so you can go back to the beginning?

State which step you are having problem with and post the code you have written and we can give suggestions. We can't write the program for you. First start by reading each line of text and then disply the line of text using System.out.println(). Then from there you save each line of text and create a loop to display the line. Do the code one step at a time.
