I was wondering if there is a possibility to have icons (or little images)
displayed in a texteditor (like icq and other tools do with smileys in the
text :-) ). If so can someone please point me to some resources ? Thx in
advance.

regards,

Unless there is a ready-made plugin I don't know about...

SWT doesn't provide an editable widget that allows you to intersperse
images and text. (The Browser widget isn't editable; the RTF widget is
pie in the sky.) If you want to do it by a hack and you don't flow text
and no image height is greater than the row height, you could put
placeholder whitespace in the text and draw the images in a paint
listener. A similiar technique (except for the extra whitespace) is used
to draw the squiggles and boxes you see in the Java editor. (Flowing is
a problem because StyledText doesn't support non-breaking spaces.)

Anything much better than that, you'd really have to want it to do the
work required.
