Hi

I am doing the excercises from the list by Martyr2:

http://www.dreaminco...ct-ideas-lists/

I really recommend to all beginners to look into these, you will surely find some of them to your liking.
They are both fun, challenging you to grow as a programmer, frustrating, and fun again
And there are maaany categorys

Now, back to why I'm posting. I want to do this excercise

" Text Editor – Notepad style application that can open, edit, and save text documents. Add syntax highlighting and other features "

But I have no clue as where to start. I have searched on this site in hope for finding similar questions, but did not find one that satisfied my problem. So I thought that some of you maybe had done this excercise, or just know where to begin? And maybe even have a useful link?

Thanks in advance

JEditorPane is useful: Documentation
It has support for rtf and it usefull for syntax stuff.

You'll also need to load/save files. One way you could do this is to read in files to the Text Pane then once you 'Save' it, the program will write what is in the Pane to the document

*Hints for those two*
Saving
Opening

at least, those are what I would use for a text editor.

Check out this tutorial on File I/O. For syntax highlighting, take a look at creating a custom EditorKit for the JEditorPane.
