    5. 

    6. 

  6. <p> Since jEdit 4.2, many TextArea classes have been split into a base and derived class. This
    7. 

  7. is an attempt to make an API partition for the standalone text area. So for example: </p>
    8. 

  8. <ul>
    9. 

  9. <li> @ref JEditBuffer and @ref Buffer were split into two classes. </li>
    10. 

  10. <li> @ref MouseHandler and @ref TextAreaMouseHandler were split. </li>
    11. 

  11. <li> @ref TextArea and @ref JEditTextArea were split. </li>
    12. 

  12. <li> @ref StandaloneTextArea is a new class for other open source Java applications to reuse. 
    13. 

  13. <li> @ref JEditEmbeddedTextArea is a new class for jEdit plugins to reuse. </li>
    14. 

  14. </li>
    15.

  19. The embeddable TextArea includes the packages "textarea", "buffer", "syntax", and should
    20. 

  20. include nothing else. This means that for the standalone and abstract base classes,
    21. 

  21. we should only use classes from that set.

  24. <p> To build the standalone textarea, "ant build-textArea", and you'll quickly see if you
    25. 

  25. broke something by using a class that was not supposed to be used. </p>
