Search advanced TextArea (bold, underline, different font-sizes...)

[Nuke van Dyke]

Hi,

I'm searching for an advanced TextArea GUI Component.
Should be written in Swing.
Possible open source!!

It should handle
- stylings like underline, bold, italic, colors
- different font-sizes
- optional support for embedded pictures

For examle the input area for mails in MS-Outlook or the editor in Office.
But not so complex. Just the requirements mentioned above.

Does someone know such a class/package??

Thanks a lot!
bye nuke

Is this to be run client-side? (eg applet in a browser) If so, or if
in some other enviroment where javascript is available, there are some
very good javascript tools that present a GUI interface but produce
HTML. Once such open-source tool is 'Typetool':

http://vietdev.sourceforge.net/jscript/index.html

This utility has been incorporated in the postnuke PHP portal system.

JEditorPane supports HTML 3.2 and is included with the JDK.
