For this case I would actually just set up JList (or something similiar) to take HTML code. Then you can use simple <
b> tags to bold things out, set colors with the <
font> tag.. bla bla bla
You have to remember that the parser is compatible up to HTML 3.2, hence having to use <
font> to set the color..

| Stack logData;
JList log;
JScrollPane logScroll;
public Constructor() {
logData = new Stack();
log = new JList();
log.setEnabled(false);
logScroll = new JScrollPane(log);
}
public void log(String msg) {
logData.push(msg);
log.setListData(logData);
Rectangle r = log.getBounds();
if (r.height >= logScroll.getBounds().height) {
logScroll.getViewport().setViewPosition(new Point(0,r.height));
}
}
public void clear() {
logData.clear();
log.setListData(logData);
} |
Then you can just log HTML code..

| log("<html><font color=blue>This will be blue"); |
That way you don't have to worry about using those Style objects and such..
The above code is taken from a template GUI I use whenever I make a server-client app. The result looks decent:
