Hello William,

Sure it is :)

If there is no real need to create an editor on your own, you may
check out the editor/lexer of the NetBeans platform. Very powerful.
And the lexer module includes ANTLR support! See
http://lexer.netbeans.org and http://editor.netbeans.org. Needs JDK
1.4, if I remember right.
 

Cheers,
