How To limit the number of characters in JTextField?

http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0198.html

import javax.swing.text.PlainDocument;
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;

public class JTextFieldLimit extends PlainDocument {
  private int limit;

  JTextFieldLimit(int limit) {
   super();
   this.limit = limit;
   }

  public void insertString( int offset, String  str, AttributeSet attr ) throws BadLocationException {
    if (str == null) return;

    if ((getLength() + str.length()) <= limit) {
      super.insertString(offset, str, attr);
    }
  }
}

Then

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

 public class DemoJTextFieldWithLimit extends JApplet{
   JTextField textfield1;
   JLabel label1;

   public void init() {
     getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     //
     label1 = new JLabel("max 10 chars");
     textfield1 = new JTextField(15);
     getContentPane().add(label1);
     getContentPane().add(textfield1);
     textfield1.setDocument
        (new JTextFieldLimit(10));
     }
}
