    ----------------------------------

    > For the record, as we discussed with Andrey offline some time ago, jedit-syntax lib is a dead project... I'd rather
    > we avoid inclusion of unsupported code in CM
    Sorry but how is jedit-syntax worse than the dead Platonos project (than needs modifications to be able to use it as a CM plug-in framework)?

    Including JEdit-syntax is very easy - is just one or two lines of code and can be replaced with the actual JTextArea at anytime.

    The code of jedit-sytnax was not changed for years, but this is also true for most "official" Swing components too - they just work.

    > Please add JEdit Syntax:
    > http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedit-syntax
    > to all TextAreas that display code (SQL, or other syntaxed text).
    > This library is very small, lightweight (it's not the entire JEdit but an old and simple syntax hightligher).
    > The inclusion is very simple(just replace TextArea with JEditArea) but the effect is spectaculous:
    > everytime I integrated this library the users were euphoric :) - despite the fact that my work was little (just a code line).
    > Please not that the library is under MIT license so it should be no compatibility problem.
    > After integrating this library it would make sense to take new screenshots for the documentation cause they'll look much better :).
