| <td HEIGHT="21">Platform Text provides the basic building blocks for text |
| and text editors within Eclipse and contributes the Eclipse default text |
| editor. It consists of five parts: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| The text infrastructure provides facilities for text manipulation, position |
| management, and change notification.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| JFace Text provides UI components for editing and presenting text. It offers |
| support for rule based styling, content completion, formatting, model reconciling, |
| hover help, and vertical rulers.</li> |
| |
| <li> |
| The text editor framework provides the abstract implementation of an Eclipse |
| text editor.</li> |
| |
| <li>The File Buffers plug-in which introduces text file buffers for shared access to |
| the content of a text file in form of an <tt>IDocument</tt> and and associated <tt>IAnnotationModel</tt>. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>A concrete editor implementation: the Eclipse default text editor. |
| </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| Editors built with this toolkit are for example the JDT Editor or the CDT |
| Editor. Take a look at the <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-ui-home/screenCasts/screencasts.html">JDT screen casts</a> to see some |
| features like the new J2SE 5.0 editor support in action. |
