Which editor to use for rich text formatting (WYSIWYG) in an Eclipse RCP project?

Question

Based on the following criteria, what editor do you suggest for rich text formatting (WYSIWYG) in an Eclipse RCP project? The must have list:

• bullet-lists
• bold formatting
• font size
• It should be as easy as possible to use the formatted text directly to generate a pdf with iText.

I guess html is the best way to that, right? So it would be great if the formatting information used by the editor already is in the html format.

Answer 1

I found no suitable plugin so i developed my own: LeetEdit

LeetEdit is an HTML editor for Eclipse RCP based on TinyMCE.

It's free (both EPL and LGPL) and you can fork it on github.com/TimPietrusky/LeetEdit

How to use

LeetEdit leetEdit = new LeetEdit(parent, SWT.NONE);

// Set text
leetEdit.setText("LeetEdit is kind of leet.");

// Get text
String text = leetEdit.getText();
