I have used Swing quite a lot, and as you know I even gave a shot at making a WYSIWYG editor for XML. I had to debug the Editor.
Which xml namespaces were you trying to do this for? xhtml, svg, mathml?
DocumentDTD, basically like xhtml
I've tried numerous times to extend the javax.swing.text.*.* packages and
had difficulties with replacing dtd's and applying schemas, etc.
I rewrote all the underlying Document stuff to wrap XML DOM, and all the view mappings. It was really hard to debug.
It works, but it's still buggy.
Is there any good open source endeavor in the area of editing XML? I like Bruno's pollo for the namespaces it is designed for. What I would like to see is a good client WYSIWYG editing system that works thru Cocoon services for multiple authors(with permissions and say corporate associations) from different parts of the world. Have it work the xml documents like CVS does source code. And please don't point out anything with zilla on the end.
Lenya http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/ is a CMS that can work on it. And as for editing, OpenOffice 1.1 has xml filters, and can output in XHTML.
My Java implementation is still around, if you have time, just ask me.
