This creates a new JCopyButton and displays it in a JFrame, along with a JTextArea that contains some text for the
button to copy.
public class Driver {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
final JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setLineWrap(true);
textArea.setText("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.");
textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("JCopyButton Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
final Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPane.add(new JScrollPane(textArea), BorderLayout.CENTER);
contentPane.add(new JCopyButton(textArea), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
});
}
