Custom Method as jTextArea Text?

I want my jTextArea text to be the value returned from a class method. 

I have the following class:

/***********************************/
public class Appointment {

	//Fields
        private String note;
        
	//Constructors
	public Appointment() {
            note = "This is what you get.";
}
	//Methods
        public String getNote() {
		return note;
	}
	public void setNote(String anyName) {
		this.note = anyName;
	}        
/****************************************/

Then my jTextarea code looks something like this:

/****************************************/
import com.miginfocom.beandemo.Appointment;

public class ApptDetails extends javax.swing.JDialog {
    
    /** Creates new form ApptDetails */
    public ApptDetails(java.awt.Frame parent, boolean modal) {
        super(parent, modal);
        initComponents();
    }
 private void initComponents() {
jTextArea1 = new javax.swing.JTextArea();

        jTextArea1.setColumns(20);
        jTextArea1.setRows(5);
        jTextArea1.setText(getNote());
        jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jTextArea1);
}
/*******************************************/

It yacks on the call to getNote(). What is the proper syntax for this?
