1.Take a JTextArea and call its setComponentOrientation() method with
ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT as parameter and you will be able to notice
that the caret wont pass to the right side. (but it would work with JTextField)

here I simply copied the code I have (so dont pay notice to irrelevant stuff)

                                         Thanks ,

jt.append((char) take + "");

tf.setText("");

});
tf.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT) ;
jt.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT) ;
getContentPane().add(tf) ;
}
}
