Answer 1

You Could:

static{
    // register EditorKit for plaintext content
    JEditorPane.registerEditorKitForContentType( "text/plain", "HtmlEditorKit" );
}

before your:

public static void main(String[] args){...}

Sorry for the Late Response!

Answer 2

Set your EditorKit and user the kit's read() method passing the file there.

The reader used in the read method should understand how to parse the content.

Answer 3

Thanks a lot Stanislav. In his example (see the last page of article, method initEditor()) I found the proper way. The mistake was in the order of commands. That works:

public void openFile(String fileName) throws IOException {
    editor.setEditorKit(new ModifiedHTMLEditorKit());
    ModifiedHTMLDocument doc = (ModifiedHTMLDocument)editor.getDocument();
    try {
        editor.getEditorKit().read(new FileReader(fileName), doc, 0);
    }
    catch (BadLocationException b) {
        throw new IOException("Could not fill data into editor.", b);
    }
}

Then I call openFile("test.xhtbm") and all goes without friction.
