We are implementing a very small messenger like application in Java and are using a JTextPane for our messages panel. Now, we are trying to replace common smileys with .gif files and we use some example that does the job... except that the icons are center aligned and it's annoying. Is there anyway to make it look inline (left align, or normal)? Some help to resolve this would be appreciated.
messagePane = new JTextPane();
messagePane.setEditable(false);
messagePane.setEditorKit(new WrapHTMLEditorKit());
messagePane.setContentType("text/html");
MessageDocument doc = new MessageDocument();
doc.addDocumentListener(new SmileyDocumentListener(messagePane));
messagePane.setStyledDocument(doc);

Note : that I've tried changing r.alignment = 0.5f; to 0.0f in WrapHTMLEditorKit.java
Alright, so I don't know why the icons are shown that way in a JTextPane using a content type of text/html (and I tried using a JLabel displaying an icon, setting HTML directly, etc.) Bottom line is that I thought HTML was necessary.
I replaced
public class MessageDocument extends HTMLDocument {
by
public class MessageDocument extends StyledDocument {
I removed WrapHTMLEditorKit and modified the init code with
messagePane = new JTextPane();
messagePane.setEditable(false);
messagePane.setEditorKit(new StyledEditorKit());
MessageDocument doc = new MessageDocument();
doc.addDocumentListener(new SmileyDocumentListener(messagePane));
messagePane.setStyledDocument(doc);
and icons displayed normally.
The contents wraps without a special class and I can still use SimpleAttributeSet objects.
