lightweight text editor jar?
Submitted by boardtc on Friday, 23 November, 2007 - 15:25
I've never used JEdit and am relatively new to the Java community, so please be gentle Smiling
I need to provide a very basic text editor in my swing app. I don't think a commercial app would be allowed to distribute JEdit is my understanding but anyway the distribution footprint is likely too large for my needs...

Rather than reinventing the wheel are there any freely available fine tuned lightweight editors available in a jar that I can use for this purpose?

Thanks,

Tom.

There is http://syntax.jedit.org/ which uses the MIT/X11 licence but though it is extremely lightweight the code has not been updated in 7 years and is not wrapped in a package...also the functionality is supports is still way overkill for my needs (for example it supports syntax highlighting for 10+ code file types). I guess what I was hoping for was a well used java class that encapsulated a simple text editor....
