I want to create a component that will automatically highlight certain 
words.  I also hope to add annotations to the margin.  Something like 
the editor in an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA.  As a matter of 
fact, it is for something very much like an IDE.  I've read through the 
Sun tutorials on text components, but it is a bit confusing if I really 
want to go the route of using JEditorPane. Also, I'm not sure if I would 
want to use an existing Document implementation, or if I should try to 
create my own by extending either AbstractDocument or 
DefaultStyledDocument, or something else entirely.

Does any one have any wisdom on this matter? Its a personal project, 
mostly for learning, so it doesn't have to be professional quality 
implementation. However, I'd *like* to make it as professional as 
possible :-)

Thanks,
Daniel.
