CKEditor is a javascript-based HTML "rich text" editor that works in common browsers. This component provides a wrapper around it for use in a Vaadin-based (Java servlet plus GWT) application.

It was developed using Vaadin 6.7.8 and CKEditor 3.6.3 in an Eclipse environment. You simply can drop the JAR file into your Vaadin WEB-INF/lib and begin using it.

NOTE: This widget is compiled using JDK 1.6 / Java 6. We have been using 1.6 for years now (it was released December 2006) and see no reason to use such an outdated and no longer supported JDK 1.5 per Vaadin's widget specs.

It was built for use in the Open eSignForms open source electronic contracting system where forms can be developed for electronic signatures, routing, etc.
