[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-1104) Add syntax highlighting to SLD editor page

Add syntax highlighting to SLD editor page
------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1104
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1104
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 1.5.1
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 1.5.2

The SLD editor page has a plain editor now, but it would be nice to have syntax hightlight and line numbers.
EditArea can do that:
The EditArea code is big (100kb single javascript file) but it can be compressed with this tool: http://dean.edwards.name/packer/
to 50kb. Then we may need a servlet to perform gzip compression on the fly, without requiring us to depend on the
application server compression settings (compressible files are set in the server.xml file, in Tomcat, for example,
see http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ahashim/). That would be useful for serving openlayers too.

Once this is set up, test the thing with various browser, and see what happens if javascript is not enabled (try with a locked down IE, for example)
