Well, I'm glad I didn't shut this list down after all :) A real post!! Comments below...

You might want to look at RedCar's codebase. RedCar is a Textmate clone for other platforms which is now based on JRuby. I'm not sure what parser they're using, or how cleanly componentized the syntax highlighting logic is, but since it's now JRuby-based, you know it will work for you. http://github.com/danlucraft/redcar > We are looking for something very simple because we can't afford spending > too much time on that... > BTW, the original Kettle syntax highlighting code is that > one: http://github.com/rvalyi/terminatooor/blob/master/src/com/akretion/kettle/steps/terminatooor/ui/ScriptValuesHighlight.java > > Thank you very much for any suggesting.

That sounds excellent, and it would help focus some attention on another success story, the RedCar editor.
