What Swing component to use

[bob connolly]

Hello,

I've been trying to determine what Swing component to use in order to, in a UNIX script, open a file and allow a user to scroll thru a file and maybe edit and save the file, just as if they were opening the file using 'vi' or some other editor?

Or if you may know of a good example on the WEB i can review?

I'm basically trying to automatate a datbase build process and would like a screen to pop up at certain places in the script, asking the user to verify and OK what's been configured at each phase of the process.

Thanks for any references or examples!

If you don't need any formatting, a text area would do the job.
