I am doing a document editor program in java.
The problem is that how to change the java keywords color in a TextArea or JTextArea when we inputing characters in the edition-area?

I mean the keywords dispalying in one color,while the not-keywords string displaying in another color.

The following methods obviously don't make it:
void setForeground(Color c)
void setSelectedTextColor(Color c)
void setSelectionColor(Color c)

I am now puzzled.
If can't,can the JEditorPanel or JTextPanel make it?
