I think so.

Yes, it's just using editArea:

Nope

LGPL, Apache and BSD

You actually just need to drop that component into the page where you
have the editor
and point it at the text area that contains the SLD. I can show you
the wicket integration
but it's probably going to be trouble than it's worth.

That said I'm unhappy with it, it works rather well on windows but quite poorly
on Linux, to the point that I normally disable syntax highlighting
when editing SLD
there.

I was looking around and this library seems like a better alternative:
http://codemirror.net/
The downside is that it's a less complete solution and some javascript
code should
be implemented to have the same features as edit area (in particular the full
screen one, which is quite handy with longer documents).

If you code something based on codemirror would you point the result at me? :-p

Cheers
Andrea
