HTMLEditor : how to display Source and parsed content ?

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a HTMLEditor that consists of
one tabbed pane and a tool bar.
My tabbed pane has two associated panes :
Editor ( a JTextPane)
Source ( a JEditorPane)
I already know how to bind my JTextPane to a HTMLKit and bind the HTMLKit to a HTMLDocument.
When I type text in my JTextPane it appears just as it should in a web browser (it's already parsed).
What I would like to do now is to display the source of
the HTML document when I click on the source Tab.
I already know how to write this source into a file from the JTextPane, but instad of wirting the source into a file I would like to write it in the JEditorPane.
Is this a View issue ? Do I have to plug a different View to my Editor so it displays the HTMLDocument ? And if it's so, how do I do ? Isn't there any standard view ready to this ? To display HTML Source code from an existing HTMLDocument ?
Thanxs for the help

Here's some working code snippet to illustrate what I meant:
assuming editorPane being a usual JEditorPane/JTextPane used to do the editing and sourcePane a JEditorPane to show the source (text + tags) then create the sourcePane with:
private JEditorPane createSourcePane() {
     JEditorPane sourcePane = new JEditorPane();
     sourcePane.setEditable(false);
     sourcePane.setContentType("text/plain");
     return sourcePane;
}to show the (complete) source after some edit:
private void showTree() {
     if ((sourcePane == null) || (editorPane == null)) return;
     Reader reader = null;
     try {
          char[] chars = getSource();
          D.ebug("got array " + chars.length);
          reader = new CharArrayReader(chars);
          Document doc = new PlainDocument();
          sourcePane.getEditorKit().read(reader, doc, 0);
          sourcePane.setDocument(doc);
     } catch (Exception ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
     } finally {
          try {
            reader.close();
          } catch (IOException ioEx) {
               ioEx.printStackTrace();
private char[] getSource() {
     CharArrayWriter writer = null;
     try {
          writer = new CharArrayWriter();
          editorPane.getEditorKit().write(writer, editorPane.getDocument(), 0, editorPane.getDocument().getLength());
          return writer.toCharArray();
     } catch (Exception ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
     } finally {
          try {
               writer.close();
          } catch (Exception ioEx) {
               ioEx.printStackTrace();
     return null;
}simply setting the contentType of the sourcePane to text/plain and then do a
sourcePane.setDocument(editorPane.getDocument()) does show the unformatted text of the html without the tags.
