I would like to develop a personal version of netbeans with te java editor set up to work with a proportional font so that tabs go to predefined positions, rather than a certain number of spaces from where they are inserted
I have detected that JEditorPane is being used for the editor, and suspect that if JTextPane was used it would be relatively easy to add tabs. Changing from JEditorPane to JTextPane is not as easy as I thought it would be.
I have a few questions:
- where can I get the appropriate versions of java and the java sdk for compiling and building netbeans (i.e. versions 5?) I cannot find them at sun or elsewhere
- How can I compile, build and debug netbeans from within netbeans?
- does anyone have any suggestions for an easy/quick approach for doing what I want to do (fixed position tabs with proportional fonts)
Thanks . . .
Phil
