To insert a scroll bar on your new JTextPane, just use a JScrollPane:

JTextPane txt = new JTextPane();

JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(txt);

JTextPane API: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextPane.html

JScrollPane API: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JScrollPane.html

If you have some issues, take a look at this SO question : Java JTextPane JScrollPane Display Issue
