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.

THIS PROJECT IS NOT UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT: see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=319018 for the continued project.

Installation Guide

Accessing the widget

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.
