Lightweight code editor widget for Java that supports JavaScript

Question

I'm creating a Swing application where the user should be able to edit JavaScript codes. So I need some kind of code editor embeddable in Java that supports:

Customizable Auto-Completion (or if not already done, extensible enough to be easily implementable)
Syntax Errors Highlight (like Netbeans or other advanced editors that can mark the lines with syntax problems)
Color Syntax Highlighting (not very critical)

The need of it to be embeddable in Java is mainly because of the Auto-Completion which will be dynamic and very specific to the application.

Does such editor exists?

RSyntaxTextArea supports syntax highlighting and auto completion, but not error highlighting:

Very nice. It seems to be very close to what I was looking for. I'll test it later to see if it fits the job.

I'm not aware of an editor that's specifically designed to be embeddable, however there are tons of programmer's editors that are open-source and written 100% in java. Here's a list of some of them: http://java-source.net/open-source/ides
