I am looking for a GWT based rich text editor for use in an application. My search has not been successful, as all the editors I've found so far have been quite limited. For this application I need features like tables, images and styles.

I've tried integrating CkEditor using JSNI. This works most of the time, but now and then I get unwanted results.

During GWT.Create 2013 there was a demosession where one of the participants mentioned that they were working on a rich text editor for GWT. Unfortunately I did not take note of who they were, and I am now unable to find this project.

If anyone know of any GWT based rich text editors, this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Stig Runar Vangen

That is the code behind this, example, is it not?

I cannot seem to find support for tables within the standard GWT rich text editor.

We recently wrote a wrapper around TinyMCE and it's been working fairly well for us. Has support for tables. The source code is available if you want to use it.

We have a fully gwt based text editor which we use for our templating engine. We where attending that conference. If there is interest we could make it available. 

At the current time it's still in our internal library.

I took a look at the GWT bindings. This is nice.
However we are trying to bind everything with JsInterop and avoid using JSNI:

@JsType(isNative = true, namespace = JsPackage.GLOBAL)
public interface Ace {
@JsMethod
Editor edit(Element element);
}

This way is much more portable between different Java->JS compilers.

We use bare minimal binding, just for our needs.
This is all we have:
