java - ArrayList of type Object to display output in JTextArea -

i have assignment i'm working in college, have gui asking input user , display final output (an arraylist of type object) in jtextarea, in separate classes. problem it's displaying return tostring() method overwritten. here's code, tostring method in non gui class:

  @override     public string tostring() {            int u = 1;          system.out.println("team " + name + " has " + players.size() + " players");         for(int i=0; i< players.size();i++)  {             system.out.print(u++ + ".");             system.out.println(players.get(i));         }               return "team " + name + " has " + size + " players";  }         } 

this jtextarea calling gui class:

public class gui extends team  {             //buttons          /constructor       public  gui() {                  frame = new jframe("team manager");                 frame.setlayout(new borderlayout());                 frame.setsize(300, 300);            jta = new jtextarea(super.tostring());           frame.add(jta, borderlayout.center);  } 

only return value of tostring() displaying in jtextarea, how make displays loop line line? have tried making foreach loop , appending results, tried settext() , append() don't take type objects, how should go doing this?

              ( myobject o : arraylist1) {                 textarea1.append( o.tostring() );                   } 

if want separate text lines use textarea.setlinewrap(true);

also don't use settext() said @sha33. know method change text in jtextarea. use append method. if want separate text can append \n @ end of each line.
