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).

Don't know if it will work any better on large data but you can try using the default Action from the DefaultEditorKit to do the copy:

JButton paste = new JButton( new DefaultEditorKit.PasteAction() );

The Action can also be added to a JMenuItem.
