No. I want to display only movies name. There are 50 movies name in the given url. Right now it display only the last name. — D. Rudra, Feb 07 '18 at 14:04
You a should edit your original question, rather than repeat the same mess in a new one. — Andrew Thompson, Feb 07 '18 at 15:00

You can use a StringBuilder to build a string containig all text you need:

private void WebJSoup_jButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
   try{
         Document doc=Jsoup.connect("http://www.imdb.com/search/title?groups=top_250&sort=user_rating").userAgent("Mozilla/17.0").get();
         Elements  links=doc.select("h3.lister-item-header");
         StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder ();
         links.stream().forEach(e->sb.append(e.text()).append(System.getProperty("line.separator")));
         jTextArea1.setText(sb.toString());
   }catch(Exception e){
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
   }

}

Sir Thank You Very Very Much. This is really working. Now all 50 movies are showing in a JFrame by click button. Thank you. — D. Rudra, Feb 07 '18 at 15:24

You can use append() method instead of setText() like this

jTextArea1.append(additionalText);
