Try this (I wrote this code from head, so it may not compile, but the
general idea is there)
JTextArea textArea = ...;
Action centerAlignAction;
Action[] availableActions = textArea.getEditorKit().getActions();
for( int i=0; i<availableActions.length; i++ )
{
if( availableActions[i].getValue(Action.NAME).equals("center-justify") )
centerAlignAction = availableAction[i];
}
textArea.selectAll();
centerAlignAction.actionPerformed( new
ActionEvent(textArea,ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED,"center-justify") );
You can also replace the entire for-loop with this:
centerAlignAction = new
StyledEditorKit.AlignmentAction("center-justify", StyleConstants.ALIGN_CENTER);
