Swing contains a fairly sophisticated rich text editor component that can easily server as the basis for a word processor for many cases.
It has nice style support.
I did a neat little screenplay-writing program with it one weekend...I simply created styles that matched to common screenplay formats (like dialog, scene descriptions, etc), assigned hotkeys to the styles, then wrote a little smart method to figure out the next probable style when you hit the return key.
- eropple 13y ago> It has nice style support. Aside from the normal terror of using Swing, I agree with this--with one caveat. As JetBrains has learned, Swing's text editing controls and modern Linux look, regardless of style, like crap. Less of a big deal for a word processor, but a pretty big deal for them. :(
- markbernard 13y agoI have never had a problem getting Swing to do what I want it to. People who bash usually haven't tried to actually learn it.
