Hi Marius, I tried the the first way, "i) access the editor in Java (GWT) code by writing a simple native getter", the dependency is killing me. I can not compile it use eclipse the dependency is the way too complicated. I tried use maven to build it, but I tried for a whole afternoon and I really don't know how to write the correct pom to compile them together.

Could you please extend the native JavaScript API so that I can write something like: native void setBackgroudColor(String color) /*-{ editorJSReference.execute('backcolor', color); }-*/;

See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4519

Could you please also tell me what you did to extend the native JavaScript API, so I can learn about how to save the location of highlighted sentence to help software maintainer easily trace back to the high lighted document. If you want I can collect your reply and write document for you for this one too.

See http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/notifications/2009-October/064059.html But that won't help you. If you need to know where the selected text starts and ends in the edited page then consider using the xwiki-gwt-dom ( http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/xwiki-gwt-dom/ ) module which offers a Range&Selection API. The WYSIWYG editor uses it. In order to get the selection you have to: (1) get the edited document native org.xwiki.gwt.dom.Document getEditedDocument() /*-{ editorReference.getRichTextArea().contentWindow.document; }-*/; (2) use the Range&Selection API Range range = document.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Selection and https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/range .

Here is another problem, please see the screenshot: http://picasaweb.google.com/freeleons/Xwiki#5394862411574232850 in the WYSIWYG edit mode, the customized sidebar are disappeared, which means that I can not use the GWT tree to interact with the WYSIWYG editor. Is there anyway to keep the customized toolbar?

Thanks, Marius
