[jEdit-Syntax-users] More questions

[P. J. R. <sp...@sa...>]

First, I should say that I'm a student of Computer Science at Texas Tech 
University.  A research group here is doing a lot of work with A-Prolog, 
so I'm working on an IDE for it as a senior project.

I don't really want to make a plugin for jEdit -- one of the requests is 
that it be as light-weight as possible, and jEdit really has a lot of 
unneeded features.  Furthermore, there are some features they do want 
that jEdit doesn't seem to support, such as a tabbed interface.

So, that's why I want to work with the jEdit Syntax package.  I may try 
to port the 4.2 syntax code to the 2.3 text area, but I will have to 
decide if it's feasible.. I'm fairly new to programming in Java. ;-)

However, there is one problem I'm having that I can't figure out.  Is it 
possible to have more than one JEditTextArea at once?  It seems as 
though when I create more than one, they all share the same properties, 
and changing one changes the others.  For example, look at this:
http://speed.sakabatou.net/Test.java

It makes a small window with three tabs; two are JEditTextAreas, and the 
third is a JTextArea.  The behavior seems very strange to me; I have a 
laptop with OS X 10.3 and Java 1.4.1, and another with Windows XP and 
Java 1.4.2, and it behaves the same way on both.  It doesn't seem to 
have the same problem with other objects.
