How to create a text editor that can "run Java code" in an application?

Question

This is the prototype of my project

enter image description here

Is there a pre-built Java text editor that I can embed so that the syntax will be just like Java?

Short answer: no, but there may be some 3rd party libraries that provide the required functionality (eg. is Beanshell still around/relevant?) — user2864740, Sep 01 '14 at 21:47

Using Java ScriptEngine you can embed different scripting languages in your application, including BeanShell which is based on Java.
