Different Colored Highlights in JEditorPane

Question

Hello there,
I have a question regarding different highlights. I have multiple highlights in different color. Is there any way I can selectively remove highlights.
Meaning say, I have two highlights one with red colored painter and another with green colored painter. Then is there a way, wherein I can remove highlight for the highlight in green color while retaining the highlight in red color.
I did something like this
Highlighter.Highlight[] selections= edit.getHighlighter().getHighlights();
for (int i=0; i<selections.length; i++) {
Highlighter.HighlightPainter painter= selections.getPainter();
//DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter painter
//Color clr = painter.getColor();
But the getColor() method is there only in DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter and not in Highlighter.HighlightPainter.
May be I am missing some small thing.
Thanks a lot for your help.

But the getColor() method is there only in DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter and not in Highlighter.HighlightPainter.So cast the Highlighter... to a DefaultHighlighter...
Highlighter.Highlight[] highlights =      textPane.getHighlighter().getHighlights();
for (int i = 0; i < highlights.length; i++)
     Highlighter.Highlight h = highlights;
     DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter thePainter = (DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter)h.getPainter();
     System.out.println( thePainter.getColor() );
