How to disable blinking cursor in TextArea in Java?

Question

In Perl Tk, the trick is that you can set the "paste during" text widget to 0, which disables the blinking cursor:

$self->{status_line}=$self->{status_frame}->Text(
-width=>80,-font=>[-size=>10],-height=>1,
-insertontime=>0)->pack(-side=>'left');

Is there an equivalent to this in Java to disable the blinking cursor?

You can do it in CSS with

-fx-display-caret: false ;

or inline:

textArea.setStyle("-fx-display-caret: false;");

or in an external CSS file:

.text-area {
    -fx-display-caret: false ;
}
