JIDE Code Editor is a source code editor component. There are several open source code editor projects, but for a wide variety of reasons they often prove unsuitable to professional level development efforts. That's why we decided to make this flexible and powerful component. For most features you would expect from a code editor, you can find them in this product.

As a product in the special component category which usually depends on the general components, this product depends on JIDE Components, JIDE Grids, and JIDE Shortcut Editor.
