Swing - Search text within a JTextField

Question

I have a documents that's displayed in a non-editable JTextField , and I want to enable users to search within this document.

I already figured out I could use a custom JTextField for input , and use the HighLight painter to mark the occurrences - But I couldn't help but feeling that this seems like such a common problem that maybe there's a component that does it much better then I can (like cycling through the results, highlighting them in different colors , ignoring case...)

Do you know of any such thing?

Answer 1

SwingX提供完整的搜索支持（仅在JEditorPane中，叹息：请注意自己 - 其他文本组件怎么样？）

Answer 2

Swing书 （Matthew Robinson和Pavel Vorobiev）在构建HTML编辑器应用程序方面有一个很好的章节，它向您展示了如何实现“查找和替换”。
