[jEdit-Syntax-devel] Word wrap in JEditTextArea

[Greg <gr...@ea...>]

Hello

JEdtiTextArea seems to be a very well designed component,
and there is only one thing i miss in it, which is
word wrapping.

Is it a design choice or is it just something nobody
is interested in ?

If i want to implement it, would someone have an advice
to give to me ?

Thank you in advance and happy new year,

Greg

Hi,

I am currently implementing word wrap in the mainline stream of the
syntax package (found in jEdit 4.0), however you won't be immediately
able to use it in the syntax package, due to licensing issues (the new
syntax code is GPL'd), and also the fact that the internal architecture
of the syntax package has changed so much between 2.2.1 (which the
public domain code is based on) and 4.0.

I took a look at the 4.0 syntax code, and yes it seems quite different.

You seem to say that the licensing of jedit may change in the future ?

For the moment, i think i'm going to dive into the JEditTextArea code
and try to implement it in this package... What do you think
of the difficulty of this task ?

Thank you for your response, and happy new year to you all
