Enabled: Called when the kit is being installed into the a JEditorPane.

Parameters:

c - the JEditorPane

deinstall

public void deinstall(JEditorPane c)

Enabled: Called when the kit is being removed from the JEditorPane. This is used to unregister any listeners that were attached.

Parameters:

c - the JEditorPane

getContentType

Suppressed: Fetches the set of commands that can be used on a text component that is using a model and view produced by this kit.

Returns:

the set of actions

createCaret

public abstract Caret createCaret()

Enabled: Fetches a caret that can navigate through views produced by the associated ViewFactory.

Returns:

the caret

createDefaultDocument

public abstract Document createDefaultDocument()

Enabled: Creates an uninitialized text storage model that is appropriate for this type of editor.

Returns:

the model

read

public abstract void read(InputStream in,
                          Document doc,
                          int pos)
                   throws IOException,
                          BadLocationException

Enabled: Inserts content from the given stream which is expected to be in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler.

Parameters:

in - The stream to read from

doc - The destination for the insertion.

pos - The location in the document to place the content >= 0.

IOException

BadLocationException

write

public abstract void write(OutputStream out,
                           Document doc,
                           int pos,
                           int len)
                    throws IOException,
                           BadLocationException

Enabled: Writes content from a document to the given stream in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler.

Parameters:

out - The stream to write to

doc - The source for the write.

pos - The location in the document to fetch the content from >= 0.

len - The amount to write out >= 0.

IOException

BadLocationException

read

public abstract void read(Reader in,
                          Document doc,
                          int pos)
                   throws IOException,
                          BadLocationException

Enabled: Inserts content from the given stream which is expected to be in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler.

Since actual text editing is unicode based, this would generally be the preferred way to read in the data. Some types of content are stored in an 8-bit form however, and will favor the InputStream.

Parameters:

in - The stream to read from

doc - The destination for the insertion.

pos - The location in the document to place the content >= 0.

IOException

BadLocationException

write

public abstract void write(Writer out,
                           Document doc,
                           int pos,
                           int len)
                    throws IOException,
                           BadLocationException

Enabled: Writes content from a document to the given stream in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler.

Since actual text editing is unicode based, this would generally be the preferred way to write the data. Some types of content are stored in an 8-bit form however, and will favor the OutputStream.

Parameters:

out - The stream to write to

doc - The source for the write.

pos - The location in the document to fetch the content >= 0.

len - The amount to write out >= 0.
