Swing Text APIs

On a more positive note, if you need to work with the Swing Text APIs in any detail,would like to do something with text that you currently can’t or for some reason are implementing a text API, take a look at this overview and the articles here (the text articles are towards the bottom). Some of the docs seem to be fairly old but the basic features of the API really haven’t changed all that much and it’s far more important to understand the design than the specific methods that are available anyway. Once you understand the design, you’ll know where to look for the methods.
