i'm new in java and recently started to develop an simple application. For the moment i have a problem with JScrollPanne, it's not able to scroll down (or up) when the text in textarea more than size of area. I have looked to some solutions, but all of them were for FlowLayot (GridLayout and BoxLayout), but not for GroupLayout. Here is the code:

JPanel conent_p = new JPanel();
    conent_p.setBorder(new TitledBorder(null, "", TitledBorder.LEADING, TitledBorder.TOP, null, null));

    JLabel lblItemName = new JLabel("Item name:");
    itemField = new JTextField();
    itemField.setColumns(10);

    JLabel lblMxPrice = new JLabel("Max price:");   
    mpriceField = new JTextField();
    mpriceField.setColumns(10);

    JLabel lblQuantity = new JLabel("Quantity:");
    quanField = new JTextField();
    quanField.setColumns(10);

    JLabel lblDelivery = new JLabel("Delivery:");
    delivField = new JTextField();
    delivField.setColumns(10);

    JLabel lblLogcat = new JLabel("LogCat:");
    final JTextArea txtConsole = new JTextArea();
    txtConsole.setEditable(false);
    txtConsole.setLineWrap(true);
    txtConsole.setWrapStyleWord(true);

    sbrText = new JScrollPane(txtConsole);
    sbrText.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);

    // Now create a new TextAreaOutputStream to write to our JTextArea control and wrap a
    // PrintStream around it to support the println/printf methods.
    PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new TextAreaOutputStream(txtConsole));
    // redirect standard output stream to the TextAreaOutputStream
    System.setOut(out);
    // redirect standard error stream to the TextAreaOutputStream
    System.setErr(out);

    GroupLayout gl_conent_p = new GroupLayout(conent_p);
    gl_conent_p.setHorizontalGroup(
        gl_conent_p.createParallelGroup(Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(gl_conent_p.createSequentialGroup()
                .addContainerGap()
                .addGroup(gl_conent_p.createParallelGroup(Alignment.LEADING)
                    .addComponent(lblMxPrice, Alignment.TRAILING)
                    .addComponent(lblItemName, Alignment.TRAILING)
                    .addComponent(lblLogcat, Alignment.TRAILING))
                .addGap(18)
                .addGroup(gl_conent_p.createParallelGroup(Alignment.LEADING)
                    .addGroup(gl_conent_p.createSequentialGroup()
                        .addGroup(gl_conent_p.createParallelGroup(Alignment.LEADING, false)
                            .addComponent(itemField, GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, 365, GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
                            .addGroup(gl_conent_p.createSequentialGroup()
                                .addComponent(mpriceField, GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, 80, GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
