richhtml4eclipse
27. December 2006
richhtml4eclipse is a widget for WYSIWYG HTML-Editing, that can be integrated into a eclipse-environment. It’s an adaption of a web-based HTML-Editor that is fully based on DOM. There are different possibilities to add listeners to keep on track of the user-input, selection, etc. There is also a support to toggle the different selections based on the current cursor or selection.
Getting started
The best way to start using the project is to download the example from SourceForge. There the different possibilities are demonstrated based on a simple view with a coolbar.
Architecture
richhtml4eclipse reacts on embedded JavaScript Routines for editing rich text. Therefore the OpenSource Editor tinyMCE was chosen to be embedded into the widget, because it has a plugin-mechanism that allows you to enhance JavaScript logic and listening for user-input without modifying the core. It’s enhanced with a special plugin that propagates events to an event-manager of the widget where you can register your listeners.
Features
The current version (1.0) handles the basic features for editing text:
- Format styles
- Fonts
- Font sizes
- Lists
- Bold/Italic/Underlined/Strike through
- Superscript/Subscript
- Indentation/Outdentation
- Links
- Images
- Anchors
- Undo/Redo
- HR
- Fore/Background color
- Layers
- Toggle Visual Aid
- Tables

Could you explain in more detail how to use the Import Wizard for plugins feature in Eclipse to install richclient? I can’t get the richclient jars to show up. I click on the Source Code Locations button and then try to add the directories where the jars are located, but when I click OK and then Next, they don’t show up in Plug-ins and Fragments Found. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi,
does somebody know a solution of the carrige return issue. The solution from
http://www.jumbabox.com/2008/05/java-wysiwyg-editor-in-swt-using-tnymce/
does not work for me.
Has someone an idea ?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I am willing to fix it now for me
Hint: when you press “tab” while having the focus in your Browser, this seems to enable the focus in the TinyMce. So after pressing “tab” I am able to input carriage returns! Pressing again “tab” resets to the initial state.

Is it easy to migrate richhtml4eclipse to the newest TinyMCE version? The version contained in your codebase has no “readonly” functionality, which would be great! By the way … great work so far!!
