Swing text seems to use Unicode to specify newlines, not
platform dependent encodings (such as \r\n). This should
be specified in the help. It should especially be specified
in the help for JTextArea since this differs from java.awt.TextArea.

The following is taken from bug number 4256058:
The swing text package models newlines as \n's. Other platforms that model
newlines differently must be converted to \n. Use the EditorKits read method,
which will do this conversion as necessary as well as setting an internal
flag as to what the newline should be. If done in this manner the write
method will map the internal notion of newlines to the format found from
the read method.
