Word processing Component for swing

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Can anyone recommend a Java rich text editor?

I'm writing an application that needs a basic word processor. It should be able to change font, size, bold, italic, undo/redo, maybe colour.

It shouldn't be too complex since part of what will be wrote in it will be used as a key for a DB query in order to translate it in few languages (addendum: i'm not writing a translator), and i would like to add auto-completition.

Is there an (open source) word processing component that could be like the one i need? If not, is there any tutorial that can give me at least some hints about how to write it myself (i found a lot of confusion on the net about EditorKit and Document and how it should be used)

Answer 1

Here's a few to look into

• OOBean - Uses a component of Open Office (might be overkill)
• Metaphase
• Memoranda
• A quick google search for 'Java Swing rich text editor' returns many more
