Looks nice! I won't be able to use it though, because it requires Java 6 and I am currently stuck with 1.4.

Then back port it, probably isn't that hard to do.

A:
I've had success with the JEdit Syntax Package. It doesn't automatically pretty-print, but you can do it easily yourself.

I just tried it, and will look at the JSyntaxPane next because A) jEdit Syntax can't line-wrap (at least, not with a method like JTextPane), and B) it doesn't do a good job at guessing how wide it should scroll. If the window was narrow, it wouldn't be able to scroll to the end of a really long line; wide windows would scroll way past the end of the line I was looking at.
