CKEditor for Java Released!

Posted by Anna

We are happy to announce the release of yet another official CKEditor integration, this time for Java. CKEditor for Java makes integrating the most popular online WYSIWYG editor in the world with Java applications easier than ever before.

Java Support

Java integration was already available for the predecessor of CKEditor, the acclaimed FCKeditor, and we are now proud to present the complete rewrite of this feature.

Using CKEditor for Java

Adding a CKEditor instance to your Java application has never been easier — just follow the steps below:

  • Download standalone CKEditor and place it in a directory of your choice, like /ckeditor/.
  • Download the ckeditor-java-core-3.x.jar library and place it in the /WEB-INF/lib directory (or alternatively, add a dependency in pom.xml).
  • When the JSP page is ready, declare the CKEditor tag library inside the page: 
    <%@ taglib uri="http://ckeditor.com" prefix="ckeditor" %>
  • Add the tag to the page in order to replace a selected textarea with CKEditor: 
    <ckeditor:replace replace="textareaId" basePath="/ckeditor/" />

Complete step-by-step integration instructions are available in the Integration Guide.

Download

Visit the CKEditor download page and download the CKEditor for Java as well as the latest CKEditor release.

    ckeditor ,cool app!~ it's really helps me a lot, and thanks

  2. i have downloaded and tried CKeditor but Browse Server Button in image info tab of Image Properties is missing as  one shown in CKeditor Demo...Please give the Detail information about how can i make it visible and working with it......

    • You need to integrate a file browser/ uploader with your CKEditor. See: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Howto/File_Uploader

      The demo page contains the following caption: "This online demo features CKFinder (...)". The Browse Server/ file upload functionality comes from the integration with CKFinder, but you can also use a custom solution to achieve a similar result.

      • Hi Anna,

        Thanx for ur Reply, but i m integrating CKfinder in CKeditor and i m doing all these stuff in jsp.....i have integrated CKfinder with CKeditor successfully and it should work  as per the CKfinder Demo i've seen on website

        But as far as the Browse Server Button is missing no CKfinder Popup window  opens and it's not possible for me to Upload the Files...

        will u plz send me one application that has succcessful integration of these two ckfinder and ckeditor and upload file at some Temporary Directory...

        I will be so much Thankful to you.... 

        • Hi Kunal,

          I recommend you follow the instructions from CKFinder for Java Developer's Guide. The CKEditor Integration article describes all steps neccessary to create a working CKEditor + CKFinder integration. You can try the manual integration method first and once you have it working, proceed to more advanced configurations. Good luck!

          • Hi Anna Thnax for Supporting me Things are working quite comfortably.......
