Description jimkatz 2006-03-16 03:16:24 UTC 
In GUI mode the jTextPane properties will not allow the contentType to be set to
anything except text/plain. The work around is use the advanced properties to
set it using code: setContentType("text/html"). This bug has been around since 5.0.
Comment 1 Jan Stola 2006-03-27 12:55:03 UTC 
When the user attempts to set "text/html" content type then HTMLKit from
html/editor module is set to JTextPane. JTextPane refuses EditorKits
that are not StyledEditorKits. The HTMLKit doesn't extend StyledEditorKit
and therefore it is refused.

org.netbeans.module.editor.html.HTMLKit
  extends org.netbeans.modules.editor.NbEditorKit
  extends org.netbeans.editor.ext.ExtKit
  extends org.netbeans.editor.BaseKit
  extends javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit
  ...

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Must be StyledEditorKit

I see no problem with text/html in current NB 6.0, but the same failure appears with text/xml.
We should probably hack the contentType property and not really write to it.
Comment 4 Jan Stola 2008-01-11 12:54:55 UTC 
Fixed. It should be possible to enter any value into this property. We ignore possibly thrown IllegalArgumentException
(but we do log it into console).
