java textarea problem

[TJN23]

having problem on my java project:

created a JTextArea with a user input of text...set the text to a String variable.

i want to check if the text is selected or not:

if (the text is selected)
set the variable to only the selected text
else
set the variable the textArea.getText() //all the text on the textArea

having problems checking to see if the text is selected or not?

plz help!!

You realize you could just use Jamba and create what you need in a wysiwyg environment.
