We still have another syntax highlighter which was used earlier and still in use by at least the SOAP Message Tracer. EditArea seems to be much better than that one. We need to be careful when using multiple libraries for the same functionality. I took a look at the license of EditArea, it is LGPL and is OK to use but the authors notice needs to be published. Have we done that?
