e999. Setting the Blink Rate of a JTextComponent's Caret

The blink rate is specified in milliseconds. In particular, the blink rate causes the caret to appear for T milliseconds and disappear for T milliseconds. 
    JTextComponent c = new JTextArea();
    
    // Set rate to blink once a second
    c.getCaret().setBlinkRate(1000);
    
    // Set the caret to stop blinking
    c.getCaret().setBlinkRate(0);
