Why textPane.getDocument().getText() Returns Empty String?

Question

What am I doing wrong here in an attempt to get text (with newline characters at their places) from a JTextPane component with content-type "text/html"?

textPane.getText() returns HTML but with empty head and body. textPane.getDocument().getText() returns an empty string.

P.S.: I am also having no line-wrap and other issues in the same code, should I be asking them as independent questions, with the same code?

Code:

package test;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

//import javax.swing.text.StyledEditorKit;

public class TextPaneTester extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    public TextPaneTester() {
        initComponents();
        myInitComponents();
    }

    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">

        contentScrollPane.setViewportView(content);

        contentScrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
    }

            this.content.setPage(helpURL);

                // Why this line retuens an empty string?
                String text = this.content.getDocument().getText(0, this.content.getDocument().getLength());
                System.out.println("getDocument.getText() on JTextPane gives " + text);

                System.out.println("This far 2!");

As usual, the documentation is the first place you should look:

If the document is loaded asynchronously, the document will be installed into the editor immediately using a call to setDocument which will fire a document property change event, then a thread will be created which will begin doing the actual loading. In this case, the page property change event will not be fired by the call to this method directly, but rather will be fired when the thread doing the loading has finished. It will also be fired on the event-dispatch thread.

You are reading the Document before the page has finished loading. Wait for it to load by monitoring the page property:

this.content.addPropertyChangeListener("page",
    new PropertyChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) {
            System.out.println("getText() on JTextPane gives "
                + content.getText());
        }
    });

this.content.setPage(helpURL);
