Syntax Highlighter for Java

Question

As you know there is a Syntax highlighter for PHP called GeSHi which supports a great number of Programming Languages or Code formats.

However, I couldn't find such a library for Java which supports programming languages that I need (ADA, ASP, BNF, Bash, Brainfuck, C, C++, C#, CSS, Cobol, ColdFusion, D, Fortran, Haskell, HTML, INI (Config), Java, JavaScript, Lisp, Make, Objective C, PASCAL, Perl, PHP, PLSQL, Prolog, Python, Ruby, Scheme, SQL, VB.NET, Verilog, VHDL, Visual Basic, XML.)

Do you know one or should I prefer inefficient way which is retrieving the highlighted code from a remote PHP server via http transaction? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Two related questions:

What code highlighting libs are there for Java? Where can I find a syntax highlighting library for Java?

And one library I found: http://colorer.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

Have a look at JHighlighter or jEdit Syntax Package. All mentioned languages aren't supported out of the box. However, you have the sources, so I guess it should be possible to add language support.

Not a direct answer but, if client-side syntax highlighting is an option, the SyntaxHighlighter library from Alex Gorbatchev is an awesome javascript library, supports lots of languages and is highly extensible.
