Code Editors
IDE (Integrated Development Environment)combines the editor, compiler and other useful tools in the same software package. Its advantage is that when a program with syntax errors is compiled, the programmer sees the error messages and the original program at the same time -- this makes debugging much easier. Also, some IDEs contain debuggers. Visual J++, VisualAge for C++ or Java, Java WorkShop, and Visual Caf�?�© are IDEs.

A code editor is typically a text editor with programming language libraries installed. The editor recognizes programming keywords and renders them in the specified color code (known as syntax highlighting). Other features include code beautification and compiler integration. In some cases, code editor is a scaled down version of IDE.
Scintilla
Scintilla is a free source code editing component. It comes with complete source code and a license that permits use in any free project or commercial product.
As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts.
