Can HTML-Style Links be added to SWT StyledText?

Question

I know SWT has a Link class to create HTML a href style links as widgets, but I wast trying to find a way to make certain text in a StyledText control appear and function as

Answer 1

Since JFace 3.5, there is a special style for links:

styleRange.underlineStyle = SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK;
styleRange.data = "http://www.google.com/";

This makes it much more simple to identify a link and you can store the URL in the style. As for automatically finding links, just look for the pattern http://[^ ] (blanks are not allowed in links) in the lines you get and add the style.
