RTFM answer, please provide a link or direction to the FM :-)
Are there any resources available (other than the EPF source code) to
help use the rich text editor in a non-EPF context?
Has anyone done any work towards integrating RichTextEditor with the
JFace Data Binding framework?
Is there any way to get FOCUS_OUT events from RichTextEditor? I've tried
hooking into the SWT.FocusOut event on the RichText but my Listener
never gets called. I've also tried attaching the Listener to
RichtText.getControl() without luck. The app/plugins I'm working on use
FocusOut events to trigger modification from Text widgets to the model,
so if I can't find a way to get RichText/RichtTextEditor to emit
FocusOut events I'm afraid I won't be able to use it - that would be
very unfortunate since the existing alternatives are not really robust
enough for production use.
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Yes, me.
Can't help on the FOCUS_OUT or Data Binding thing. But...
For a start it only works on Windows and Linux, the Mac is going to need
some Safari-specific voodoo added to the rte.js and rendering files in
the rte folder.
The plug-in I put together is here in CVS:
Host: tencompetence.cvs.sourceforge.net
Path: /cvsroot/tencompetence
Module: rte/org.eclipse.epf.richtext
I then instantiate a RTE control thus:
class RTE
extends RichTextEditor
{
public RTE(Composite parent, int style, IEditorSite editorSite,
String basePath) {
super(parent, style, editorSite, basePath);
}
public RTE(Composite parent, int style, IEditorSite editorSite) {
super(parent, style, editorSite);
}
@Override
public void fillToolBar(IRichTextToolBar toolBar) {
toolBar.addAction(new FontStyleAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new FontNameAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new FontSizeAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new CutAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new CopyAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new PasteAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new ClearContentAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new BoldAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new ItalicAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new UnderlineAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new SubscriptAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new SuperscriptAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new TidyActionGroup(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new AddOrderedListAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new AddUnorderedListAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new OutdentAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new IndentAction(this));
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new FindReplaceAction(this) {
@Override
public void execute(IRichText richText) {
richText.getFindReplaceAction().execute(richText);
}
});
toolBar.addSeparator();
toolBar.addAction(new AddLinkAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new AddImageAction(this));
toolBar.addAction(new AddTableAction(this));
}
}
And then add it to an EditorPart.

OK, thanks. That is pretty much the same thing I am doing.

Any ideas how/why undo/redo is being hijacked in this way?
Is it possible (simple) to build the RichTextEditor as a JAR to be
packaged with my plugin instead of deploying all those epf plugins?
Thanks in advance,

That's why I took all the minimum classes needed and bundled them into
one plugin.

I tried your plugin from CVS, but it has the same problem. I suspect
there is something that RichText is using from the
org.eclipse.ui.wokbench.texteditor package that is causing it, but I'm
still investigating.

I must have been blind yesterday because this morning I quickly found
the method RichTextEditor.createUndoRedoActions() which I can override
to eliminate the unwanted actions.

Still looking for any advice on doing this, though...

the edit window when selecting the Rich Text tab, the dialog flashes
many times and eventually pops up an Internet Explorer error dialog that
says "Stack overflow at line: 0."
This happens regardless of the contents of the rich text or HTML edit
components.
I suspect some kind of incompatibility between the rte.js and placing
the editor in a modal dialog, but am not sure how to proceed.
Any help appreciated,

Note that this bug has been fixed. See

A follow-up question:
When I use a RichTextEditor in my plugin, it seems to have somehow
hijacked the undo and redo actions (Ctrl+Z). I had a special
(EMF-generated) action bar contributor that handled undo/redo through
the EMF command stack, but now the RichTextEditor is being used if I try
Ctrl+Z anywhere in my editor.
I've got the epf.richtext, epf.ui, and epf.common plugins deployed with
my own, which seems to be the minimum required to actually use
RichTextEditor.
Any ideas how/why undo/redo is being hijacked in this way?
Is it possible (simple) to build the RichTextEditor as a JAR to be
packaged with my plugin instead of deploying all those epf plugins?
Thanks in advance,
