public class DefaultEditorKit extends EditorKit
line.separator, is defined to be
 platform-dependent, either "\n", "\r", or "\r\n".  There is also
 a property defined in DefaultEditorKit, called
 EndOfLineStringProperty,
 which is defined automatically when a document is loaded, to be
 the first occurrence of any of the newline characters.
 When a document is loaded, EndOfLineStringProperty
 is set appropriately, and when the document is written back out, the
 EndOfLineStringProperty is used.  But while the document
 is in memory, the "\n" character is used to define a
 newline, regardless of how the newline is defined when
 the document is on disk.  Therefore, for searching purposes,
 "\n" should always be used.  When a new document is created,
 and the EndOfLineStringProperty has not been defined,
 it will use the System property when writing out the
 document.
 Note that EndOfLineStringProperty is set
 on the Document using the get/putProperty
 methods.  Subclasses may override this behavior.
