Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I am also writing a RTF editor:-)
RTFEditorKit and RTFDocument does't work correctly.
You can't save the pictures, tables and so on.
I owerride standart RTFDocument, RTFEditorKit, ViewFactory and some views.

I implements new RTFWriter (Word2000 compatible).
With tables and nested tables, simple pagination, bullets and numbering, Styles etc.

The fact is RTFDocument components arent written by swing team. If you check the source files you would see a lot of PENDING marks.

Thanks for the reply..
Can you please explain how you are doing table rendering by over-ridding the default implementation??
Thanks in advance..

1. Override EditorKit
public class MyRTFEditorKit extends StyledEditorKit {
...
public Document createDefaultDocument() {
return new MyRTFDocument();
}
public ViewFactory getViewFactory() {
return new RTFViewFactory();
}
...
}
The Document represents tree structure of the Elements.
You have to change this structure to reflect table.
previous structure
section
paragraph1
leaf1
leaf2
paragraph2
leaf3
after update
section
paragraph1
leaf1
leaf2
table
row1
cell1_1
paragraph1_1
paragraph1_2
cell1_2
row2
paragraph2
leaf3
then override ViewFactory.
Create views for reflect table element. See swing ParagraphView, BoxView, LabelView...

ViewFactory creates View for the Element.
Override it to obtain TableView for TableElement
RowView for RowElement etc.

EditorKit also contains reader and writer for document.
Change reader/writer.

thanks a lot again.. but i am crudely new to Java.. and all this RTFEditorKit and StyledKit is just driving me nuts... can u please send me the code u are using .. i will try to atleast understand what you are trying to do ..

TQ very much

does your rtfeditor supports images?

Stan can you please send me the code for the table support in RTF. I would be much obliged.

Like lots of other people I've got the same problem, and would appreciate it if you could send me the source examples you sent to others. I'm greg@arcadia-services.co.uk.

Theire is a bug reported in 1999 relating to tables and RTF which Sun decided not to fix through lack of interest. This forum would seem to prove them wrong.

I would also appreciate if you could send me some sourcecode for handling tables in RTF. Or an URL where it is possible to download from.

We are also working with RTF and require extending RTFEditorKit. Could you please send us your current source code? We can also offer help extending the capabilities further. This would be a tremendous help to us.

Thank you,

There are so many people, all asking to be emailed source, including
myself. Is there anyone out there who could post some source here for
everyone to look at? It is obvious that meny people are interested in RTF.

Hello, Stan

I've got the same problem of saving images and tables. Could you please send me the sample codes too. I would be much obliged.

My e-mail address is pshavel@tut.by

P.S. I agree with previest writer that it will be great to post your sample code here.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards, Pavel.

Hi

Could U plz send me the sample codes to... my email is:

still waiting :(

I am also trying to write a RTF editor using RTFDocument and RTFEditorKit. But I have problems to read and write tables, bullets, pictures, etc. If you could forward an additional copy of the source I would be very grateful. My email is luciana@dct.ufms.br

I would like also to know if the swing team is working in this pending thinks in RTFEditorKit.

Thanks in advance

Luciana

As far as I'm aware all issues with RTF components in the bugs section have been closed and are not going to be fixed. Either it's time to get on the JCP or improve the components independantly ... hows about an open source project?

It's really a shame to be the 100. person asking for the code ;), but I am searching for a solution of these problem since quite a time and it would be great if you could send me the essential parts of your code.

thx a lot

I sent a note to Sun about this, and the following was theire reply.


WOW, I must admit we are amazed that so many people are interested in
Swing's RTF support. Because of the immense popularity of html we have
been focusing our resources on Swing's html support, at the expense of
Swing's rtf support. Based on the feedback on the Swing forums we
will revisit this decision shortly and try and beef up Swing's RTF
support to a more modern version. As to your specific needs, we don't
have anything we can point you at now, but hopefully in the near
future we can craft something.

Thanks for your feedback,

Hello Stan,

I need to make a RTF Editor and I'm facing the same problems (images, tables, ...).
It could be very cool if you can send me your implementation of the RTF editor at franck.cohen@caramail.com

Hello Stan,

I am facing the same problems (images, tables, ...)with Rtf.
It could be very helpful if you can send me your implementation of the RTF editor at sindhu@viewset.com

MR. StanislavL
You seems to have a solution for Word2002 RTF documents and RTF with tables and pictures. Could you please tell me where I can get the RTFEditorKit you wrote.
I am also searching for a Java RTF printing solution. I found an example with the BoxView class but sometimes the line last character get clipped when the document is sent to the printer.
Thanks in advance.

Stan -
I'm in the same boat as all these other people...
It looks like the solution that you wrote is in much demand!
.... Can you send me the code to you mentioned that supports RTF documents with tables and pictures... Thanks in advance

THIS HAS TO STOP..... PPL LISTEN UP!! HE IS NOT SENDING ANYTHING TO ANYONE, SO STOP ASKING HIM FOR IT....

This is the first thread I've seen with this many requests for source code, I'm glad I'm not the only one asking. I am also working on a project that ABSOLUTELY MUST have table support in RTF documents. I would most appreciate any help with implementing the missing RTF tables/nested images support. At least this helped tremendously to get started! I hope the Swing team helps with this pretty critical issue.

like so many others i am having trouble with the word2002 rtf format, its a real headache not made any easier by there being so little info available.

if anyone has any answers/work arounds or news when the swing team are going to update their rtfeditor please email me at ben@earko.com

thanks,

ben

I am using the RTFEditorKit to translate RTF to HTML.
However, I found that since RTFEditorKit does not support tables. As a result, I stuck at there.
May you send me a piece of source code so that I can support RTF tables?
Thanks a lot.
my email address : noise_from_guitar@yahoo.com.hk

Arg!! Got the same problem as the rest of you! it does seem to be such a big problem, I am surprised that Sun have not implimented this before. If everyone who needs this functionality from the rtfEditor submits on this forum then perhaps the powers that be will take notice and help us out!
I need this done in a week, so if I manage to get something working I will submit what I have done to you guys. So far I have ironed out the bug preventing Word2000, XP docs from working, but have only been working on this for two days with other stuff to do so more to come?? Lets hope so.
Regards
Mark

I have the same problem too. We need to be able to view complex RTF in-line, as well as (hopefully) edit and save it. I can't believe no work has been done on this in the years Swing has been out! I've never seen an office store word processing documents in HTML - everyone uses RTF for cross-platform stuff. This is a must-have feature :-(

I'll echo the rest and say if anyone has source code further advanced than the default, i'd love to see it or talk about licensing. (alison@mirrabooka.com) Otherwise i guess i'll have to extend StyledEditorKit aswell. sigh

Well i said i would keep you guys informed if i got anywhere. 5.30am - god i must be addicted! Well finaly got images read in from rtfReader/Parser from there just as a test i have outputted the images to file, been at it for hours but finaly it works. Word outputs a jpeg image in both compressed bmp format and in wmf, which makes it extreemly difficult to read in. I am only trying to read in rtf docs from Word for conversion to html in my project, i suspect that my implimentation will not be generic enough for most of you... But when i am done i am sure many of you will be able to use some of what i am doing as a starting point.
Perhaps Sun wants to employ me to do this for them???????
I graduate from uni in a few months, I need a job!!!

I suggest you to try with Majix, a java package that performs rtf 2 xml transformation.
It is available, with the source code written in Java under the Mozilla Public License 1.1.
the url is http://www.tetrasix.com/
