All Implemented Interfaces:

    public class JEditTextArea

extends TextArea

jEdit's text component.

Unlike most other text editors, the selection API permits selection and concurrent manipulation of multiple, non-contiguous regions of text. Methods in this class that deal with selecting text rely upon classes derived the `Selection` class.
