Java wysiwyg HTML Editor

Question

Hello,

I'm working on a project and need a simple free java HTML wysiwyg editor can anyone point me in the right direction?.

It only has a small space to fit into, so something fairly simple would be best.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Ekit seems fairly light (160Ko in one jar, source and jar here)

Answer 2

If it the editor should run in a browser then there is nothing to do with Java and you can use any of these:

• TinyMCE
• CKEditor
• YUI Editor
• jQuery WYSIWYG

but if you need to embed the HTML editor into a desktop app then you probably need to find the one you like and try which fits best.

Answer 3

If you need a good WYSIWYG HTML editor then I recommended JWebEngine. It is the only one that I know that pass the ACID1 browser test and the mail-acid test. The most other Java HTML editors based on the javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument and have all the same bugs. The support of CSS is very poor in the HTMLDocument. JWebEngine has a very good support for viewing HTML with CSS. But it is also compatible JEditorPane or JTextPane and you can use it together with third party tools like the spell checker JOrtho.

Have a look at Metaphase Editor. It's a WYSWIWYG HTML Editor component for Java and is licensed under LGPL. The binaries and sources are available at Project Kenai.
