context-coloring

[Ike]

Anyone aware of a text component class that colors certain elements of text?
Many IDE's use such a creature, and I am wondering if anyone is aware of an
example of such a class somewhere. Thanks, Ike

The SwingSet2 demo which comes with every Sun JDK demonstrates such a
feature. The JDK should also contain the source for the demo. I never
looked at the source, but in general the JDK demo code is not really
production quality. So you might have to hack the stuff.

Or Google for something else.
