Simple Java editor GUI

Simple Java editor GUI - java

Hello i create the GUI code for simple Java editor
i create the menu but i need to match
File: New: Create a new file. asking for the name of the file (and therefore the public class) and the directory in which it will be stored. With the creation of the file is inserted into the structure of the public class, for example public class MyClass{ }.
Open: opens files with source code java ( .java).
Save : saves the current snippet on the same file with this established during the creation of.
Save as : displays the dialog box where you requested the name of the file, the format of the directory in which it will be stored. The format will be java file ( .java). The main part of the window will have the editor to be used by the user to edit a file source Java.
The main part of the window will have the editor to be used by the user to edit a file source Java. information which will be renewed during the processing of a snippet: Number lines Number reserved words in java source code
Formatting Text
Each file will open formatted and will formatted when processed in the following rules: The reserved words of java will appear with color blue.
The comments will appear in green
The String Literals with orange
All other with black
The Font will be Courier Font size 12pt
i will provide the GUI code can anyone help me with the above ?
Regards
Antonis

Also i provide a mockup of it:
Mockup

First you should have a look at the File class. It provides you methods to create, open, modify and save files. To read files you also might want to give BufferedReader or any other Reader a shot.
Creating a file: File has the method createNewFile(), use it in combination with exists().
To open and read a file use a try-with-resource (There's actually a nice tutorial about it in the Java Manuals).
To save a file you should check out the FileWriter, it can write strings or append them to files.
For your editor you might want to replace the before mentioned BufferedReader with a LineReader, which also provides methods to get the line number. Other than that you have to figure out yourself how to number the lines. (Actually it's just googling around a lot, there will be some ideas like this one - which I didn't check in detail but it might help).
Of course for the editor you should first read the file into a string, use a formatter for it and then you can present it and reformat it when needed.
Apart from these hints I can not provide you with more detailed answers, as you can also read in the comments it would be easier if you would provide more detailed questions. You now just gave us a GUI which has almost nothing to do with your actual problems.
Show us some of your (problematic) work and we can help you, but otherwise we can not do much more than giving you some hints as I just did. So try to think about your problems, try how to ask for more precise answers and open some new questions if you want.
But don't forget to check out the site for answers, for me almost all of my questions I'd like to ask are already asked somewhere in a similar manner.

Hello again lets split work into steps ,
firstly i would like to create the new,open,save ,save as , export into pdf menu and event
below is the code that i used ,the GUI frame open correctly with new ,open,save, save as ,export into pdf labels but as action nothing happened.
Could someone write to me the correct code for that? be in mind i am very java beginner.
public EEMenuBar() {
super();
fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
//Create the New menu item
newItem = new JMenuItem("New");
newItem.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_N);
newItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
}
});
fileMenu.add(newItem);
openItem = new JMenuItem("Open");
openItem.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_0);
openItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
/*TODO Open existing java source file*/
}
});
fileMenu.add(openItem);
saveItem = new JMenuItem("Save");
saveItem.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_S);
saveItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
/*TODO save changes to file*/
}
});
fileMenu.add(saveItem);
saveAsItem = new JMenuItem("Save As");
saveAsItem.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_A);
saveAsItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
/*TODO Save as new java source file*/
}
});
fileMenu.add(saveAsItem);
exportItem = new JMenuItem("Export to pdf");
exportItem.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_E);
exportItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
// TODO save as pdf(formatted)
}
});
fileMenu.add(exportItem);

Playing sound in Java using java.applet class

I am building a simple program with one button. I want to play the "zvuk.wav" file after I click on the button. It's not working though and I cant solve why. When I click the button, nothing happens. The zvuk.wav file is in the src file with the classes.
Here is my first class which imports java.applet:
package Music;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.applet.*;
public class Music {
private URL soubor;
public Music(String cesta){
try {
soubor = new URL("file:"+cesta);
} catch (MalformedURLException vyjimka) {
System.err.println(vyjimka);
}
Applet.newAudioClip(soubor).play();
}
}
MainFram which extends JFrame and has one Button:
package Music;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class MainFrame extends JFrame{
public static final int WIDTH = 480;
public static final int HEIGHT = 600;
private String file;
public MainFrame(){
setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
setTitle("Přehrávač");
setResizable(false);
JPanel jPanel = new JPanel();
JButton bPlay = new JButton("PLAY");
jPanel.setLayout(null);
add(jPanel);
jPanel.add(bPlay);
bPlay.setBounds(200, 250, 100, 50);
bPlay.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
Music music = new Music("zvuk.wav");
}
});
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
new MainFrame();
}
});
}
}

Please note that Applet.newAudioClip(url).play() does not throw an error if it fails for whatever reason (for example nothing will happen if the project cannot find the wav file).
Try this stand alone test app. Does it work?
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.applet.AudioClip;
import java.net.URL;
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
URL url = new URL("file:zvuk.wav" );
AudioClip ac = Applet.newAudioClip(url);
ac.play();
System.out.println("Press any key to exit.");
System.in.read();
ac.stop();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
If this small sample works, then it should be a small matter to modify it for your purposes.
However if it doesn't work then we almost certainly know that you project is unable to find the wav file.
Try add this to the code above:
//existing line
URL url = new URL("file:zvuk.wav" );
//new lines to debug wav file location
File myMusicFile = new File(url.getPath());
if(myMusicFile.exists() && !myMusicFile.isDirectory()) {
System.out.println("File exists and is not a directory");
}
If the file does not exist then that's your problem, and you need to point your URL to the correct location.
However if the file does exist and it still doesn't work then we have another possible issue outside of code.
It is possible that .play() is completing too quickly, see below for an example of how to keep it alive.
It is possible that your wav file is not a type that can be played, or it requires an unsupported codec. This is a far bigger topic and needs a new question, and a little bit of research on your part.
Here is the example to keep it alive from the sample code:
//load and start audio
AudioClip ac = Applet.newAudioClip(url);
ac.play();
System.out.println("Press any key to exit.");
//keep thread alive until a key is pressed
System.in.read();
ac.stop();

I was previously using Java 6 to compile the application and setting the clientProperty apple.awt.documentModalSheet was working perfectly to display the dialog as a "Sheet" on OSX but now I started using Java 7 (update 25) and the dialog is no longer displayed as a Sheet. I can't seem to find any update documentation on this. Have they changed anything about this? How can I solve this? The current interface design looks tons better with a Sheet than a dialog.
Update
I found the following Bug report which seems to be the same issue as I am experiencing;
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8010197
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I have looked into libraries like QuaQua but I would prefer not using any library because I just want the Sheet functionality.
Update 2
I tried QuaQua, but the library currently has the exact same problem when compiling with Java 7. Any workarounds?
Update 3
Replaced code with working sample (http://pastebin.com/PJ8VGdPb)
Update 4
Found out SWT has a style for their Shell class named SWT.SHEET which still works in Java7, I don't prefer using a library like SWT, but it seems to be the only solution.

As far as I know, Apple didn't officially released their version of JDK 7. The latest version of the JDK Apple has optimized for their OS X is still JDK 6. That is also why updates for Java come thru the AppStore update tab. These updates do not come straight from Oracle.
If you downloaded JDK 7 directly from Oracle, this is a more generic, non-tweaked version.
So, I think you will just have to wait for Apple to release their OS X optimized JDK 7.
I experienced a lot of OS X features not to be working when I download from Oracle:
Trackpad gestures
Native Aqua Look'n'Feel doesn't work, even when trying to set it manually through UIManager.
Application icon not working when using JOptionPane.
JMenu's will stick into the JFrame itself instead of moving to the top of the screen.

It seems before JDK fix the bug, you have to implement the Sheet yourself.
The key points are:
Use the glass pane of the window frame to hold the Sheet dialog
Use the GridBagLayout (with NORTH anchor) to put the dialog at top|center of the pane
Animate the Sheet when show/disappeare by painting the dialog repeatedly, every time paint more/less part of the dialog
The following is the example code

Here's a super dodgy hack I came up with which sets the flag which the JDK now appears to be forgetting to set and manually positions the window in the right place. There's still a missing shadow though, so I wonder if anyone can improve on it. ;)
This messes with internal classes and private fields, so it might break in any given new release of the JDK, but it still works on 8u5. Maybe it will give some insight into how these internal AWT classes are structured.
public static void makeSheet(Dialog dialog) {
dialog.addNotify();
ComponentPeer peer = dialog.getPeer();
// File dialogs are CFileDialog instead. Unfortunately this means this hack
// can't work for those. :(
if (peer instanceof LWWindowPeer) {
LWWindowPeer windowPeer = (LWWindowPeer) dialog.getPeer();
//XXX: Should check this before casting too.
CPlatformWindow platformWindow = (CPlatformWindow) windowPeer.getPlatformWindow();
try {
Method method = CPlatformWindow.class.getDeclaredMethod(
"setStyleBits", int.class, boolean.class);
method.setAccessible(true);
method.invoke(platformWindow, 64 /* CPlatformWindow.SHEET */, true);
Window parent = dialog.getOwner();
dialog.setLocation(dialog.getLocation().x,
parent.getLocation().y + parent.getInsets().top);
} catch (Exception e) {
Logger.getLogger(SheetHack.class.getName())
.log(Level.WARNING, "Couldn't call setStyleBits", e);
}
}
}

Different behavior of JDialog when is created by program and by user action

I have 3 clasess : Loader, MyDialog and TEST(with main method). (for code see below)
Everything I want to achieve is create simple dialog with JLabel and JProgressBar, which will notify user about how much time remains to show MyDialog. MyDialog is Jdialog with time consuming operation in constructor (loading data from database etc.).
In code below is model situation. When "MyDialog" is created by main (constant BY_USER is false), everything working exactly i want to. But when i make dialog with button , and instance of MyDialog is created after button press (constant BY_USER is true), Loader is blank white form. It looks like is not completed.
Loader is extending Thread, so i suppose that problem will be in threading (event dispatch thread)? I dont know, what is wrong and how fix it. Please help.
Thanks and sorry for my English.

JEditorPane linewrap in Java7

First of all I hope it's not a problem I started a new topic. Tbh I don't have a clue how to ask a question based on an already answered one, so I made this.
I'm pretty new with Java and my problem is the following. I'm writing a little chat program and I'm using a JEditorPane with an HTMLEditorKit to display text in different colors, to display smileys, and display hyperlinks.
My problem is, and after some research I found out the problem might be due to Java7, I can't get the linewrap working properly. I want the text to word wrap and to wrap in the middle of Strings exceeding the width of the component.
The word wrap works fine, but if someone types in a pretty long string the JEditorPane gets expanded and you need to resize the frame to get everything on screen, which is what I do not want to happen.
I've tried a few fixes for this problem, but they only allow letter wrap such that word wrap no longer works. Beside that, I want the user to be able to wrap his text by hitting Enter. For that I'm adding \n to the text and with the fixes this will no longer affect the result and everything's going to be displayed in one line.
I'm feeling like I've spent years in the web to find a solution but unitl now nothing worked for my case, especially since it appeared to be the same fix all the time. I hope you guys can help me.
This means in summary:
What I have:
Line wraps word in case of long strings separated by spaces
if you use Windows and your input contains line wraps created by hitting enter, they will also wrap
If you type in a very long string without spaces, the panel gets expanded and you need to resize the frame
HTML formatting allows me to display different colors as well as hyperlinks and emoticons
What I need:
Word wrap behaviour like it is at the moment in case it is possible but letter wrap ONLY in case of long strings not separated by spaces to prevent the panel from expanding.
Manually added line wraps made by hitting ENTER in the input area or if I copy an pre formatted text into the input panel
HTML formatting like I have already
What I've tried and what didn't help:
jtextpane doesn't wrap text and
JTextPane is not wrapping text
Here is some code to try it yourself. In the bottom left is an input area to type in some text. You can also add line wraps by hitting enter. After clicking on the button you will see the text in the area above.

UPDATE:
base on some parts of http://java-sl.com/tip_java7_text_wrapping_bug_fix.html
Somehow I figured it out to step a bit closer to my goal. I've tried to combine the fix for an HTMLEditorKit with an StlyedEditorKit Fix. But I have to be honest, I don't have any clue what I actually did there :( The sad thing is, the manual line wraping does no longer work with this as a replacement of the HTMLEditorKit.
Maybe you can use this as a base for some better implementation.
To use it in my example just create a new class in the project with the CustomEditorKit and replace the HTMLEditorKit in the example with this CustomEditorKit.
You will notice that word and letter wrapping works now, but if you hit ENTER to get your own line wrap this change will no longer appear in the output-panel and everything will be displayed in one line.
Another strange problem of it is, that if you resize the frame the lines will sometimes lay on each other.

OK! So, I finally got everything you were having problems with working. It took some research and a lot of trial and error, but here it is:
Here is what I did:
Put the JEditorPane in a JScrollPane so you can scroll up and down as the message gets bigger
Added a custom word wrap. The custom word wrap will wrap words and long words in the desired location of the word. You were right, this is a bug with the current version of Java. http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7125737
Added the ability for the user to wrap to a new line by hitting Enter. This interfered with the custom word wrap though, so you may not like how I achieved this. In the code example I suggest other options.
Preserved your HTMLDocument abilities. I was tempted to not do this, but I found work arounds so that it could be preserved.
The application still uses a JEditorPane, but you could switch it to a JTextPane if you want. I tried both and they were both functional.
So here is the code. It's a bit long and you may wish to change it based on your preferences. I commented where I made changes and tried to explain them.

If you have any questions whatsoever, just comment below. I will answer them. I sincerely hope this solves your problems

A deadly better solution I found :
The <br> is correctly handled by the HTMLEditorKit, but the Patrick Sebastien's post mentionned that it won't. It's because its ViewFactory threat all InlineView object as wrappable, but the BRView is also an InlineView. See my solution below:
class WrapColumnFactory extends HTMLEditorKit.HTMLFactory {
#Override
public View create(Element elem) {
View v = super.create(elem);
if (v instanceof LabelView) {
// the javax.swing.text.html.BRView (representing <br> tag) is a LabelView but must not be handled
// by a WrapLabelView. As BRView is private, check the html tag from elem attribute
Object o = elem.getAttributes().getAttribute(StyleConstants.NameAttribute);
if ((o instanceof HTML.Tag) && o == HTML.Tag.BR) {
return v;
}
return new WrapLabelView(elem);
}
return v;
}
}
class WrapLabelView extends LabelView {
public WrapLabelView(Element elem) {
super(elem);
}
#Override
public float getMinimumSpan(int axis) {
switch (axis) {
case View.X_AXIS:
return 0;
case View.Y_AXIS:
return super.getMinimumSpan(axis);
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid axis: " + axis);
}
}

You probably want to make an object with two properties, the path and the text you want to display.
Then you'll set the toString method to return the text property. Disclaimer: I haven't tested any of this code.
public class ValueText {
private String text;
private String value;
public ValueText(final String text, final String value) {
this.text = text;
this.value = value;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return text;
}
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
}
Then you can change your initial array to something like:
private Object[] names = {
new ValueText("Dog", "images/dog.gif"),
new ValueText("Bee", "images/bee.gif"),
new ValueText("Panda", "images/Panda.gif")
};
And it should work similarly, only now, when you are inspecting the selected item, you can use the getValue() method to get the path.
You also might be interested in a custom renderer, but it's probably not necessary for your use:

Update I'll go ahead and make a correction after kleopatra made some convincing arguments in the comments, which you should read below.
A more general purpose and cleaner way of doing this is with a custom renderer, even if it's very simple (see link above).
