They use some form of embedded c++ component for graps at 
<url:http://www.scintilla.org>. Tried to get Komodo up and running   
precisely because I wanted to check the color coding, but it crashed 
horribly.

Noticed that Thunderbird uses some form of natively colorized textwidget, 
but gave up on trying to determince precisely how this could be. I wish I'd 
known about this group when I started asking questions about the <editor/> 
element, because I still cannot find any up-to-date information, but in any 
case I've concluded that non-native components are the only option. Does 
group members have alternative suggestions for simple, embeddable 
components [preferrably java based for me to hack it, expecting java to 
make more sense to me than c++]?

I can live with an editor that has no features at all except for color 
coded syntax. I can even live with an editor that only supports basic XML-
syntax [element, attribute and textnode] colorizing :]
