Establishes the set of things needed by a text component
to be a reasonably functioning editor for some
of text content. The EditorKit acts as a factory for some
kind of policy. For example, an implementation
of html and rtf can be provided that is replaceable
with other implementations.
A kit can safely store editing state as an instance
of the kit will be dedicated to a text component.
New kits will normally be created by cloning a
prototype kit. The kit will have it's
setComponent method called to establish
it's relationship with a JTextComponent.

 public Object clone() {
Object o;
try {
o = super.clone();
} catch (CloneNotSupportedException cnse) {
o = null;
}
return o;
}
Creates a copy of the editor kit. This is implemented
to use Object.clone. If the kit cannot be cloned,
null is returned. |
 abstract public Caret createCaret()
Fetches a caret that can navigate through views
produced by the associated ViewFactory. |
abstract public Document createDefaultDocument() Creates an uninitialized text storage model
that is appropriate for this type of editor. |
public void deinstall(JEditorPane c) {
} Called when the kit is being removed from the
JEditorPane. This is used to unregister any
listeners that were attached. |
abstract public Action[] getActions() Fetches the set of commands that can be used
on a text component that is using a model and
view produced by this kit. |
abstract public String getContentType() Gets the MIME type of the data that this
kit represents support for. |
abstract public ViewFactory getViewFactory() Fetches a factory that is suitable for producing
views of any models that are produced by this
kit. |
public void install(JEditorPane c) {
} Called when the kit is being installed into the
a JEditorPane. |
abstract public void read(InputStream in,
Document doc,
int pos) throws IOException, BadLocationException Inserts content from the given stream which is expected
to be in a format appropriate for this kind of content
handler. |
abstract public void read(Reader in,
Document doc,
int pos) throws IOException, BadLocationException Inserts content from the given stream which is expected
to be in a format appropriate for this kind of content
handler.
Since actual text editing is unicode based, this would
generally be the preferred way to read in the data.
Some types of content are stored in an 8-bit form however,
and will favor the InputStream. |
abstract public void write(OutputStream out,
Document doc,
int pos,
int len) throws IOException, BadLocationException Writes content from a document to the given stream
in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler. |
abstract public void write(Writer out,
Document doc,
int pos,
int len) throws IOException, BadLocationException Writes content from a document to the given stream
in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler.
Since actual text editing is unicode based, this would
generally be the preferred way to write the data.
Some types of content are stored in an 8-bit form however,
and will favor the OutputStream. |
