Hello Alexander,

I am making a code editor for desktop, I am using:

  • ElectronJS , NodeJS & some NPM packages: Electron is a Javascript framework to build desktop cross-platform applications. You can search some video to know more about Electron, Node & NPM :)
  • CodemirrorJS (codemirror.net/): For the syntax highlighting, it's a Javascript library, I am pretty sure it can highlight Java.
  • And obviously common HTML, CSS & JavaScript code.

I hope it gives you some idea!

Regards!

Thank you so much! The other developer I'm working with doesn't really know JavaScript though. But I'll see what we can do.
