final static Color HILIT_COLOR = Color.LIGHT_GRAY;
DefaultHighlighter hilit = new DefaultHighlighter();
DefaultHighlightPainter painter = new  
    DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(HILIT_COLOR);
text.setHighlighter(hilit);

hilit.removeAllHighlights();
String s = text.getText();
try {
    hilit.addHighlight(0, 10, painter);
} catch (BadLocationException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(TextLines.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

Answer 1

1) hilit.removeAllHighlights(); doens't works correctly in all of cases, you have fill arrays of Highlighter[],

2) you have extract Document (Model for JTextComponents) from JTextComponents, tutorial talking about searching in the Document, then you can styled text into JTextPane(I'm talking about easiest way, there are ways how to determine contents in the concrete row(s), those things could be complicating the resize of JTextComponents)

3) I leaving answer about Columns and Rows from JTextComponents for @Stanislav

Answer 2

I'm guessing your model is HTMLDocument, which isn't really line oriented. Alternatively, consider a JList and custom renderer using JTextPane.
