JEdit< / a >
bills itself as a "programmer's text editor", but it supports
Unicode, is 100% Java, is very popular, and is extremely

Finally, the

EpiDoc< / a >
project (hosted by SourceForge) does not yet have any tools up, but
the project's goals are similar in many ways to the THDL's, and they
list their programming language as Java. The blurb of interest:
"The EpiDoc Collaborative is developing a software and
hardware-independent digital publication and interchange
specification for scholarly and educational editions of inscribed
and incised texts in Greek, Latin and other ancient languages".
