How to autofit JEditorPane in a jpanel?

Question

Hi everybody,
I have added a JEditorPane to a JPanel wrapped by a splitpane, as displayed in [this snapshot|http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7540/jeditorpaneissue.png].
The splitpanel works fine, but for some reason the JEditorPane has a fixed size and won't fit the parent when I resize it by dragging the split bar (the red arrows in the image show the annoying gap).
I'd like to improve this GUI with 2 things:
1) autofit: when I change the size of the window or I drag the split bar, the JEditorPane should fit the new size automatically. I suppose I can do this with a listener, but I was wondering if there is better way of doing it (e.g. some settings in the panel).
2) vertical scrollbar: I obviously need a scrollbar for the JEditorPane, but I don't know where I am supposed to add it.
Thanks for any hints!

PS: here's the code:
JEditorPane:
public class Recommender extends JEditorPaneInit function of the JEditorPane:
void init(){
setEditorKit(new StyledEditorKit());
setContentType( "text/html" );
setEditable(false);
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,600));Place where I load the JEditorPane
InfoBrowserPanel infoBr = new InfoBrowserPanel();
infoBr.add( UcdNavManager.getInstance().getRecommender() );
mapHandler.add( infoBr );InfoBrowserPanel (just a container):
public class InfoBrowserPanel extends JPanel implements BeanContextChild, BeanContextMembershipListenerthen I load it into a splitPane
if(someObj instanceof InfoBrowserPanel){
Debug.message("basic", "OpenMapFrame: found an InfoBrowserPanel");
InfoBrowserPanel bp = (InfoBrowserPanel)someObj;
splitPane.setRightComponent(bp);which is defined as:
private JSplitPane splitPane = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT);That's pretty much it.
