```
public class JEditTextArea
extends javax.swing.JComponent
```
jEdit's text area component. It is more suited for editing program source code than JEditorPane, because it drops the unnecessary features (images, variable-width lines, and so on) and adds a whole bunch of useful goodies such as:
- More flexible key binding scheme
- Supports macro recorders
- Rectangular selection
- Bracket highlighting
- Syntax highlighting
- Command repetition
- Block caret can be enabled
It is also faster and doesn't have as many problems. It can be used in other applications; the only other part of jEdit it depends on is the syntax package.

To use it in your app, treat it like any other component, for example:
```
 JEditTextArea ta = new JEditTextArea();
 ta.setTokenMarker(new JavaTokenMarker());
 ta.setText("public class Test {\n" + "    public static void main(String[] args) {\n"
    + "  System.out.println(\"Hello World\");\n" + "  }\n" + "}");
 
```
