What is New (see all changes)?

Feb 7 '07 CloneableEditorSupportRedirector

The CloneableEditorSupportRedirector class allows a redirection of operations on a CloneableEditorSupport object to another one. This can be useful if there are two logical files representing one physical and one wants to have just a single editor for both files. In such case just implement the CloneableEditorSupportRedirector.
Oct 31 '05 Added CloneableEditorSupport.messageHtmlName method

A messageHtmlName method has been added to CloneableEditorSupport to allow for display names with html tags. CloneableEditor uses this new method to set its html display name correctly. Also DataEditorSupport now overrides messageHtmlName to connect with Node.getHtmlDisplayName.
Aug 9 '05 Added ActiveEditorDrop interface

An ActiveEditorDrop interface has been added due to drag and drop callback support described at issue #61367
Jul 22 '05 Added CloneableEditorSupport.wrapEditorComponent

Use Cases

Exported Interfaces

This table lists all of the module exported APIs with defined stability classifications. It is generated based on answers to questions about the architecture of the module. Read them all...

Group of java interfaces

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
EditorAPI	Exported	Official	.../org/openide/text/doc-files/api.html

Group of property interfaces

Interface Name	In/Out	Stability	Specified in What Document?
indentEngine	Exported	Stable	Property hold instance of IndentEngine and this indentation engine is used instead of system one.
javax.swing.text.Document.modificationListener	Exported	Friend	In order to fix issue 51872 the openide needs a way how to be notified about change of a document outside of its Document lock. `DocumentListener`s are always notified under the lock, so a special contract has been established (since version 5.3) by registering an instance of `VetoableListener` by calling `putProperty ("modificationListener", listener)`. The NetBeans aware documents are adviced to honor this property and call the listener outside of the document lock when a modification is made. The actual contract of the call can be seen in NbLikeEditorKit.java in methods `insertString` and `remove`.
