Betreff: Proposal: RichTextArea Control (Incubator)
Dear JavaFX developers:
We would like to propose 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 cont
All,
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on the RichText proposal
so far. If I could characterize the response, there are some developers
who want at least a basic rich text control available as part of the
JavaFX core and other developers who don't think that such a control
Having read the interesting posts following this announcement, let me
add a few points from my perspective:
I understand and agree we Johan Vos that there are a lot of open issues
in JBS that should be addressed.
At the same time I would very much appreciate if a RichTextArea were
Hi all,
I don't use RT controls, so I can't comment about the specifics of this or
other implementations. However, people raised some good points that I would
like to be more specific about.
1. Can the "components" of the RTA be separated out so that other controls
can use them? For example,
This is a good point, Martin.
I would expect the JavaFX RTA to be basic, but extendable - to allow
companies to offer commercial options for particular needs based on it. I
don't see a single RTA component that would be useful for every need.
Use case examples (that I could think of):
- An IDE

That is not to say that we should not do anything. On the contrary,
I'd love it if we could do more. But in the right place. Stability and
basic features inside OpenJFX, experiments and libraries in the ecosystem.

Hi,
I agree with what others are saying that perhaps creating and adding this
control is not a priority now for the JavaFX team.
In an ideal world where the JavaFX team had more resources to implement
things (like the team JavaFX had at the time of JavaFX 8 and before), this
would make sense.
Hi,
Interesting remarks.

Hello,

It uses the standard JavaFX VirtualFlow API and and does not need to
work with reactive streams. RichtextFX depends on several long

Not sure I understand that signature. I believe everyone on this list is
part of the JavaFX development team.
I fully agree with John on this.
A RichTextArea is something that can "easily" be developed outside OpenJFX .
There are a number of examples already, e.g. RichTextFX, and our (Gluon)
RichTextArea at
https://github.com/gluonhq/rich-text-area
In the past, we clearly said that this was not a focus
ndard control. Just a thought.

Hey Andy and others,
from my perspective as an application developer, I would look for
providing an abstract but robust implementation that would allow anyone
to implement such a concrete rich text field without any roadblocks.
Maybe even going as far as going for a more abstract
I'm speaking from ignorance, but in the same way that java 2d lets you do
image reading and writing with great tools to implement it, but it also
provides defaults for png, gif, jpeg, etc.
A good foundation to build your own is critical. But it does not obviate
the need for a useful default.

Hi,
Far be it from me to tell the FX team what it should do, I am still
wondering the following:
- A 3rd party control, RichTextFX already exists -- what is this new
proposal adding that RichTextFX does not have?
- What (if anything) is stopping a 3rd party from building a
RichTextArea
.
What do you think?

Hi Andy, others,
I highly appreciate and welcome the effort of a built-in RichTextArea .
A question that popped up in my mind is whether this work might include
work in the area of *rich* TextField also? Probably it is out of scope.
Anyhow, JavaFX Textfields are used in even more areas in UI
