Luckily, we have a tool to help us with text rendering that lets us ignore these problems: the HAVi text layout manager. Layout managers will be familiar to anyone who has done some AWT development on other platforms, and the basic principles are the same in this case. A layout manager normally operates on AWT components rather than text, laying them out within a container according to a predefined set of rules. A text layout manager does basically the same thing, but lays out text within an HVisible object according to a set of rules defined by the font and the layout manager. This is a useful tool for MHP and OCAP developers because it lets us display text in an area of the screen without worrying about text wrapping and other factors for which we would have to think about using the low-level text drawing functionality. Furthermore, it even lets us apply simple markup to the text using escape sequences, so that we can change the color and transparency of the text easily.

Eclipse is an integrated development environment (IDE) for computer programming. It has base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customising the environment. This platform is mostly written in Java, but it is also used to develop applications in other programming languages that include C, C++, COBOL, Fortan, JavaScript, Python, R, Ruby, Groovy and Erlang etc. It uses plug-ins to provide all the functionality within and on the top of the runtime system. The Eclipse Platform allows using other programming languages, such as C and Python and also allows working with typesetting languages such as LaTeX and networking applications such as telnet and database management systems. It implements the graphical control elements called SWT where most of the java application uses the Java standard Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) or Swing.
