I have a Java app. with only a text area control. I instantiate it with
some text (from the Inspector) and also set the Caret Position (also
from the Inspector) to a value other than zero.

Compiles no problem but I get a runtime error
"java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: Cannot set caret position
until after the peer has been created".

What's going on here and how can I set the caret position to other than
zero??
