> Incubating a new feature - rich text control, **RichTextArea**, intended to > bridge the functional gap with Swing and its StyledEditorKit/JEditorPane. The > main design goal is to provide a control that is complete enough to be useful > out-of-the box, as well as open to extension by the application developers. > > This is a complex feature with a large API surface that would be nearly > impossible to get right the first time, even after an extensive review. We > are, therefore, introducing this in an incubating module, > **jfx.incubator.richtext**. This will allow us to evolve the API in future > releases without the strict compatibility constraints that other JavaFX > modules have. > > Please check out two manual test applications - one for RichTextArea > (**RichTextAreaDemoApp**) and one for the CodeArea (**CodeAreaDemoApp**). > Also, a small example provides a standalone rich text editor, see > **RichEditorDemoApp**. > > Because it's an incubating module, please focus on the public APIs rather > than implementation. There **will be** changes to the implementation once/if > the module is promoted to the core by popular demand. The goal of the > incubator is to let the app developers try the new feature out. > > **References** > > - Proposal: > https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/Test/blob/main/doc/RichTextArea/RichTextArea.md > - Discussion points: > https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/Test/blob/main/doc/RichTextArea/RichTextAreaDiscussion.md > - API specification (javadoc): > https://cr.openjdk.org/~angorya/RichTextArea/javadoc > - RichTextArea RFE: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301121 > - Behavior doc: > https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/jfx/blob/8301121.RichTextArea/doc-files/behavior/RichTextAreaBehavior.md > - CSS Reference: > https://cr.openjdk.org/~angorya/RichTextArea/javadoc/javafx.graphics/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html > - InputMap (v3): > https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/Test/blob/main/doc/InputMap/InputMapV3.md > - Previous Draft PR: https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1374
