I have a project, I'm creating an application in Java and I need text editor with sample functions (Bold, Italic, Size, Align, Undo, Redo).
So is there a class in Java for this purpose or a tutorial to show how to develop it?
I tried to style text in a jTextPane but when I change a word in bold, the whole text become in bold.
I want just to stylize the selected text only.
This should get you started: Editor based on JTextPane
Or this tutorial: How to Use Editor Panes and Text Panes
(source: oracle.com)
The Java Tutorial's TextComponentDemo illustrates many features such as undo/redo, styling selected text and binding key strokes to editing actions.

I am looking for a way to print content in JTextComponent's text with multiple fonts and styles.
For example: first Title with bigger font and then some custom text in different style in one component
You can use a JTextPane for this. You can control font, color, bold, size etc.
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Text Component Features for more information and working examples.
For a another simple example to get you started check out: Is there a way to filter / search for content in a HTMLEditorKit?
I am developing a spam detector application using Java GUI (NetBeans). Now I have a simple user interface which includes a text area in which the user is going to paste his email in to order to check if its a spam or not, but the problem is when you paste a text in the text area all the text properties will be lost such as : Font type, color, hyperlinks etc...
So what should I do?
That's because you need RTF-enabled Swing component to visualize various text properties.
JTextArea is visualizing only plain text. Use JEditorPane or JTextPane instead.
I am creating a text editor using JTextPane that allows the user to bold, color and align the text by highlighting the text then selecting the option to either bold, color or align. After the adjustment is made, the selection goes away, but I want it to stay. Is there a way to get it to stay, or should I manually reselect the text? If so, how can I do that?
The example in Oracle's Java Tutorials does what you need and provides the source code.
i have to create a project in java swing for my college. An editor of java files with proper text highlighting i.e different colors and fonts for java keywords, java comments and for normal text.
Help me to select one of two styled text component JEditorpane and JTextPane provided by java so that i can full-fill the requirements.
Please tell me suitable difference between these two that in which kind of situation i have to use one of these.
Although both support rich text. But there is difference.
JEditorPane supports display/editing of HTML.
JTextPane is an extension of JEditorPane which provides word processing features like fonts, text styles, colors, etc.
You can use either of them, but if it is a rich text editor then I would suggest using the JTextPane.

I am trying to make a simple email client in Java Swing.
I want to allow users to format their email in any way they want, like making some parts of the text bold, other parts italic, etc. In other words, I am trying to make a WYSIWYG editor. The formatting is done in HTML. I am using JEditorPane to display the text.
I have tried adding tags myself to the text directly by using setText and getText methods of JEditorPane. I could make it work for basic formatting, but it is quite difficult to handle complex formatting. (trying to remove tags from multi-tagged elements, for example)
Is there an easier way to accomplish this? I have looked at HTMLEditorKit but it seems like it does not support adding tags to and/or replacing a specific string.
Thanks in advance.
The HTMLEditorKit comes with some default Actions that allow you to do some basic styling of the text with the click of a menu item (or button). Take a look at the example in the section from the Swing tutorial on Text Component Features.
