I am working with a JTextArea directly and via JTextComponent interface attempting to paste text data from outside the swing-based app (notepad) into the app.
Using two different methods (shown below) I seem to be getting the same result for large amounts of text data. It works fine as long as I stick to small amounts (<25k) but pasting in a white-list of domains around 1.5MB seems to cause the IOException. I have seen a number of articles for various apps around the net referring to it being a bug in the 1.6 JVM. I'm currently using jdk1.7.0_25 and I'm wondering if anyone knows a resolution or workaround???
I'm also open to the possibility that I'm going about this thing the wrong way entirely...
code:
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
String cmd = ae.getActionCommand();
log.debug("Running {}",cmd);
if (cmd.equals("copy")){
this.component.copy();
} else if (cmd.equals("paste")){
// Simple paste -- but large data doesnt paste
this.component.paste();
} else {
log.warn("No handler for {}", cmd);
}
}
also tried:
Clipboard c = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
Transferable t = c.getContents(this);
if (t == null)
return;
try {
component.setText((String) t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor));
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
Exception:

== Update ==
Additional testing seems to indicate that this only occurs on Linux operating systems (which I use for dev) but it seems to operate on windows (which I don't use).
