What is best control in Java for simple editor

I need to implement light editor ( recognize part of key words, syntax highli开发者_JAVA百科ght and suggest all of word in dropdown list if user type part with same prefix). What is best control in Java for this task ?

You can go through the Java Tutorial - Using Text Components along with the examples page.

You could use JEditTextArea as a start point.

I recommend to reuse the editor of NetBeans or Eclipse.
