JTextpane set caret position without changing scrollPane

Question

I have Jtextpane added to scroll pane and i use the following code,

textPanel.setCaretPosition(5);
JScrollBar sb = scroll.getVerticalScrollBar();
sb.setValue( sb.getMaximum());

The contents of jtextpane is simple 10 "\n" characters. The above piece of code i use to set caret position at some place keeping scroll bar at bottom. if i remove setCaretPosition i can able to set scroll position at bottom but with that code its always going to top.

Note : caret property is ALWAYS_UPDATE .

Is it possible to achieve this?

Please help

You can use the methods

public CaretListener[] getCaretListeners()
public void addCaretListener(CaretListener listener)
public void removeCaretListener(CaretListener listener)

Before setting caret to position get all the caret listeners, remove them, set your caret position and readd them back.
