Hi Gregorio, (Thomas) >> Do you really need a JTextArea or do you need editable text?

I believe Thomas has already (indirectly) hinted towards this but... Are you aware that SVG 1.2 already foresees such functionality? Just set the "editable" property [1] and you are good to go. Note that (unfortunately) a quick test showed that this isn't supported by Batik yet -- currently only seems to work in Opera... Nevertheless, you may consider contributing this interesting feature, as already suggested in related threads [2] [3] (where some implementation ideas are also present). In the meantime, you may also want to consider using scripting: * If you only require simple text editing, you may simply use a "prompt" (extension which Batik supports [4]) -- I've just marsh up an example, attached (see the source for more information); * If you require more advanced (and stylish) text editing, you'll definitely want to look at SVG Textbox [5] (I recall a couple of other text box implementation for SVG using script so if you aren't happy with these ones you may crawl the Web for more). ;-) Hope this helps, Helder Magalhães [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/text.html#text-edit [2] http://www.nabble.com/Editable-Text-Fields-td7433284.html [3] http://www.nabble.com/Text-entry-field--td20012025.html [4] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/status.html#ecmascript [5] http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/gui/textbox/
