Looking for an RTF editor to use in an Eclipse RCP application

Question

I am making an Eclipse RCP Application in which I would like to include the possibility of editing RTF files. It would be a plus to be able to easily handle annotations.

I have already looked at org.eclipse.epf.richtext and it doesn't really fit the requirements.

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

Here are a few ideas:

• The rich text viewer link text looks nice and is eclipse open source.
• If you are using windows you can embed an ole-frame in your application. Examples at http://www.java2s.com/
• There is an article about an rtf editor in the eclipse magazine (in german) "Multimedia-Redaktionssystem auf RCP-Basis". Article, source code.
• Have a look at the open office integration editor plugin
