JTextField does allow to set a limit to the number of characters that can
be entered (and set from outside). This drawback has been inherited from
the TextField.

It does not allow, however, to set max number of chars allowed to be entered
and disable scroll after number of entered chars reached. This is particularly
useful when interfacing legacy systems where text fields have length
limitations in most cases.
