Would something like Scintilla be an option to take away the effort needed in
creating a basic editor? Maybe not as cross-platform as Java, but pure Java
also isn't quite as portable as it looks on paper.

Greg and John,
Thanks for the feedback. I was just thinking about all the effort I put into
trying to write a text editor in Java quite a few years back. Of course it may
be easier now. I didn't want to reinvent the wheel but found it hard to choose
the best starting point. There are so many relevant Java classes to become
familiar with as well as free Java-based software libraries.
One thing I particularly remember was spending quite a bit of time trying to
understand how a gap buffer works. I believe that is still considered one of
the most efficient data structures for supporting text insertion and deletion.
This project does sound worthwhile but my guess is that it could take multiple
person-years of effort. Best wishes!
