When you say "I have to insert simple formatting text (for example:
bold, underline, italics).", do you mean you have to insert this formatting
stuff into the database, or do you mean you want parts of the GUI of your
application to appear in bold, italics, etc.?

In Swing, you've got JEditorPane. It's free, but it implements HTML 3.2
+ half-done implementations of a few 4.0 features and CSS. If all you
want is bold and underline and italics and you don't need to read
existing documents, that's probably fine.

I don't know of any equivalent for SWT... but that doesn't mean it
doesn't exist.

bold text, but when I click save button in database should be something
like this: <b>some text</b>

Okay, so you want to write a WYSIWYG HTML Editor in Java using SWT? And
instead of saving the HTML files to disk, you're going to save them to a
database?

I advise you start by first writing a plain text-editor that can save to
the DB, and then enhancing that plain text editor to become WYSIWYG.
