That is a protected inner class; protected members of a class can not be 
accessed from outside that class or its package or subclasses (which is 
a basic Java rule I would expect a Java programmer to know). You don't 
use that class directly; it is part of the implementation of StyledText.
If you browse the code of StyledText a little, you'd see that RTFWriter 
is used to copy the contents of the StyledText to the clipboard during 
copy and cut operations.

Hope this helps,
