Class JEditTextArea

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.Component
          java.awt.Container
              javax.swing.JComponent
                  mars.venus.editors.jeditsyntax.JEditTextArea

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  JEditBasedTextArea

    public class JEditTextArea

extends JComponent

jEdit's text area component. It is more suited for editing program source code than JEditorPane, because it drops the unnecessary features (images, variable-width lines, and so on) and adds a whole bunch of useful goodies such as:

- More flexible key binding scheme
- Supports macro recorders
- Rectangular selection
- Bracket highlighting
- Syntax highlighting
- Command repetition
- Block caret can be enabled

It is also faster and doesn't have as many problems. It can be used in other applications; the only other part of jEdit it depends on is the syntax package.

To use it in your app, treat it like any other component, for example:

    JEditTextArea ta = new JEditTextArea();
     ta.setTokenMarker(new JavaTokenMarker());
     ta.setText("public class Test {\n"
         + "    public static void main(String[] args) {\n"
         + "        System.out.println(\"Hello World\");\n"
         + "    }\n"
         + "}");
