    Patience....If you are setting the content type to 'text/html', then this is dependent upon the html you provide. You can try to do so by setting a css style (not sure if this will work with a JEditorPane though):
    <style type="text/css">
    a:visited{
    color:#000000; //or whatever color you wish
    }
    </style>
    If that doesn't work try using the vlink inside the body tag:
    <body vlink="#000000">

    Thanks , I am using the following code but it generates error
    JEditorPane text= new JEditorPane();
    			text.setContentType("text/html");
    			HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
    			text.setEditorKit(kit);
    			StyleSheet styleSheet = kit.getStyleSheet();
    			styleSheet.addRule("<style type="text/css">
    a:visited{
    color:#000000; //or whatever color you wish
    }
    </style>);

    You need to escape the quotes, or the compiler will generate an error. Try the following

    styleSheet.addRule("<style type=\"text/css\">a:visited{color:#000000;}</style>");
