HTML Editor with Java and And webkit - SWT Browser
i want to add WYSIWYG HTML editor to my Java program.
my idea is to do Something like this but not with python - with Java.i know about couple of options and their problems :
- HTMLEditorKit - not sophisticated enough.
- JWebpane - fairy tale.
- QtWebKit - not open source.
- JWebEngine - not open source.
- metaphaseeditor - to simple.
- The Lobo Project - not support the contenteditable attribute.
- JavaXPCOM - I don't Succeed to operate it on my mac OS X 10.6. Anyway, I just prefer not to use it because Gecko is slower then webkit.
That's way I chose to work with Browser Object from org.eclipse.swt.browser Package.
For now, I have the code below:
The code, first create a instance of the browser object. After this it's load HTML page withcontenteditable='true'
attributes on the body tag.
If its load a page its supposed to add contenteditable='true'
attributes to the body tag, and when its save the page it's supposed remove it.
My questions are:
- How do I grab the edited HTML code?
- How do I know were the cursor is step on?
- How do I know if so开发者_StackOverflowme text is highlighted?
Or, in general :
- How do I build a word possessor with Browser Object and ontenteditable='true' attributes?
- is it possible?
- is this the right way for WYSIWYG HTML editor in Java?
- Any Examples out there? I already check the SWT Snippets - doesn't help much.
Thanks a lot.

The DJ Native Swing project has several HTML editors, implemented using the SWT Browser (this is an implementation detail): http://djproject.sourceforge.net/ns
I like it that you asked some very specific questions! Good job brainstorming before you get your hands dirty.
Fortunately, there's a fairly generic solution to your problem: just run JavaScript in the browser.
For instance:
Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
// Just to be sure we can use JavaScript
browser.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
boolean result = browser.execute("alert('Hello SWT!')");
if (result) {
System.out.println("script executed");
} else {
System.err.println("script failed to execute");
}
Of course you might want to send data from the browser back to SWT; in this case you might end up in the worst case having to parse browser.getText()
. I'm not sure if there's a better way of doing this.
Thy this one tinymc: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ It's well documented and you can integrate it into almost any existing code as it has a nice interface and lots of plugins.
