Is it possible to have something like a JTextArea which will color some keywords based on some mappings I have ?

Answer 1
Here are a few other choices that you could try
- http://ostermiller.org/syntax/editor.html
- http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/editor_kit/index.html
- http://fifesoft.com/rsyntaxtextarea/
- http://code.google.com/p/jsyntaxpane/
Answer 2
I am not sure, because I believe JTextArea only directly supports a single font in a single color.
According to SyntaxHighlighter class article, JTextPane is the way to go.

This problem seems to be partly affected by whether the combobox has the focus, but my method never seems to have the boolean cellHasFocus on - even when the JComboBox as a whole seems to function as though it has focus!
