Why is this code taking too long to launch

This is the code for a simple text editor in Java. The GUI components are from the swing library; however, the program takes around 10 seconds to start up! Does anybody know why this is happening?

What are your system specs? On my system the program starts in two seconds.

I'm not saying that it's the cause of the slow startup, but in general you should always construct and manipulate Swing components only on the EDT and not in the main thread.Also, by convention all Java class names start with an uppercase letter.

I've tried debugging the program, and it seems that is the line causing the slowness. Any ideas?

I don't see that line of code anywhere in your posted program.

Sorry, I meant

I've also noted that

was making the program's launch slow (with the panel.add(scroller) commented out), but I managed to fix that by removing this line and adding the initialization to the variable declaration before main.
