JTextPane
A Swing component similar to JTextArea or AWT’s TextArea. Like JEditorPane, it is can be used to render HTML or RTF (Rich Text Format). You would think JEditorPane would be a subclass of JTextPane, but it is the reverse. JTextPane lets you do your markup in a more abstract way than with HTML or RTF markup. You can use setCharacterAttributes and setLogicalStyle to modify the markup on the fly. JTextPane is for rendering and editing HTML. If all you want to do is generate it, you can do that with simple String methods, or perhaps with JSP.

One gotcha is you won’t see any hyperlink events unless you do a setEditable( false );
