Dear fellow developers:
Thank you for the early feedback on the RichTextArea proposal [0]. We are moving to the next phase by submitting the public pull request [1]. The main goal is to include the new control in an incubating module [8], hopefully in jfx24, as a means of putting non-final API in the hands of developers while the API and implementation progress towards either finalization or removal in a future release. For your convenience, two test applications are provided - RichTextAreaDemoApp and CodeAreaDemoApp which demonstrate the new controls with a number of different models. In addition to these two testers, please check out a simple standalone rich text editor application, RichEditorDemoApp, We would encourage anyone - the javafx developers, and especially the application developers, to take a look at the public API [3]. It's probably less important at this stage to do a deep code review of the implementation, but we would certainly appreciate and welcome your code review comments. Thank you in advance, -andy [0] Proposal: https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/Test/blob/main/doc/RichTextArea/RichTextArea.md [1] Pull request: https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1524 [2] Discussion points: https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/Test/blob/main/doc/RichTextArea/RichTextAreaDiscussion.md [3] API specification (javadoc): https://cr.openjdk.org/~angorya/RichTextArea/javadoc [4] CSS Reference: https://cr.openjdk.org/~angorya/RichTextArea/javadoc/javafx.graphics/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html [5] Behavior doc: https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/jfx/blob/8301121.RichTextArea/doc-files/behavior/RichTextAreaBehavior.md [6] RichTextArea RFE: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301121 [7] Previous (now obsolete) draft pull request: https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1374 [8] Incubator module JEP: https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/blob/javafx.incubator/INCUBATOR-MODULES.md
