JSyntaxPane doesn't run in Java 5 about jsyntaxpane HOT 4 CLOSED

This is similar to issue 32.  But it there may be more than this method which is
available in 1.6 only.

I did a refactor to a java 5 compatible API, but as you said, there are other
dependencies--including javax.swing.GroupLayout--which is available only in 
Java 6.
So I have not committed my changes. To make RESTClient compatible with 
JSyntaxPane,
the minimum requirement will be raised from Java 5 to Java 6 since version 2.2 
of
RESTClient.

Closing this issue.

Too bad it's java 6 only, that excludes a large part of the installed JREs.

There is a java 5 backport for GroupLayout btw. 

If there's no real dependency on java 6 that is absolutely necessary, you're 
just
being lazy and are keeping this project from becoming reaching its full 
potential. 

Do the right thing and make it available on Java 5 please.

It's not about being lazy.  The GroupLayout can be removed from the library as 
it is
used in a tester class, which can actually be removed altogether.  However 
there are
JDK 6 dependencies, using the CharSequence, the Segment class, and possibly 
others.  
Plus, the JDK 5 has already entered its End-Of-Life phase.
