Embedding a Script Editor
 
Hi, I'm "working" on an application that has Rhino scripting support and a text editor for said scripts. However, there is no syntax highlighting or anything in that editor. Is there an embeddable IDE that can relatively easily be imported to add simple functionality? Is there any that can add complex functionality?

By working I mean testing/giving suggestions for, but I don't like giving suggestions without some idea of how my recommendation can be done. I've tried googling, but got a bunch of embedded systems stuff that doesn't apply :/

Thanks in advance!

im a bit confused what are you after exactly, something to do syntax highlighting within a text editor? to save you coding the whole thing?

Syntax highlighting is kind of the initial step - what would be great is a mini version of Eclipse that can be embedded into our application. However, at this point I'll settle for pretty much anything :) The other solution would be to write our own library for this, but I'm sure that's been done and I'm all for being lazy :) Plus someone else probably did it better than I ever could (and the programmer on the project doesn't have time to do it)

<edit>In case there's a bit of confusion, the "Application" has a text editor with basic save, undo, and run options. Even has line numbers and script output. However, there isn't much beyond that, and it'd be great to be able to add.
