Sorry but how is jedit-syntax worse than the dead Platonos project (than needs
modifications to be able to use it as a CM plug-in framework)?
Including JEdit-syntax is very easy - is just one or two lines of code and can
be replaced with the actual JTextArea at anytime.
The code of jedit-sytnax was not changed for years, but this is also true for
most "official" Swing components too - they just work.
> CM Usability: JEdit Syntax to all TextAreas

> Key: CAY-892

> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: CayenneModeler GUI
> Reporter: Thomas Bernhard
> Assignee: Kevin Menard
>
> Please add JEdit Syntax:
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedit-syntax
> to all TextAreas that display code (SQL, or other syntaxed text).
> This library is very small, lightweight (it's not the entire JEdit but an old
> and simple syntax hightligher).
> The inclusion is very simple(just replace TextArea with JEditArea) but the
> effect is spectaculous:
> everytime I integrated this library the users were euphoric :) - despite the
> fact that my work was little (just a code line).
> Please not that the library is under MIT license so it should be no
> compatibility problem.
> After integrating this library it would make sense to take new screenshots
> for the documentation cause they'll look much better :).
