Scroll bar currently does not auto-scroll.

The scroll bar should scroll automatically when set to the bottom, at least.
At most, I could expect it to intelligently decide whether or not to scroll based on whether or not the user is scrolled to the bottom.

Would like to add a session-based E2E RSA encryption solution so that chat will be encrypted securely. The client will securely generate a random RSA key of an appropriate size.

Currently, the connection to a server takes place in the AWT thread and should be moved to a separate thread.

Would like a ping sound upon receiving certain messages - private messages specifically.

Would like to make the chat window considerably prettier. Possibly, adding a queue for messages and treating messages as drawable objects might be the way to go. We'll see how this pans out, I don't want to put way too much love into this chat application. This wasn't supposed to be a perfectionist project, I just kind of want to make it pretty.

I would like to make connecting to a server both easier (add default connections) and prettier (for custom connections).

As with the server (and per what would be necessary for the client to work), I would like to make the client send and receive messages encrypted by AES symmetric keys which would be transmitted in-packet securely by the current-standing RSA encryption.

As of current, there is a 245-character limit on all messages sent from end-to-end, either way. This will fix the problem and permit a potentially unlimited message to be sent, although this will likely be capped to prevent allowing a client to crash the server by forcing the server to distribute an incredibly large message to all clients.
