The java.awt.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit.write(OutputStream,..) does not
work properly. It should invoke flush() to write buffered data to the
given OutputStream.
  The reason of the problem is next: DefaultEditorKit.write(OutputStream,..)
invokes DefaultEditorKit.write(Writer,..) using new OutputStreamWriter(out)
and does not flush internal buffer of this OutputStreamWriter.

You may see data lossage in the example.

-----------------------Example--------------------
import java.awt.swing.text.*;
import java.io.*;
public class testDefaultKit {
    public static void main(String s[]) {
    
      String string = new String("A string");
      java.io.StringReader reader = new java.io.StringReader(string);
      DefaultEditorKit editor = new DefaultEditorKit();
      Document doc = new PlainDocument();
      PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(System.out);
      
      try {
       editor.read(reader,doc,0); // Insert the string
       reader.close();
                                              
       System.out.print("Writer: ");
       editor.write(writer,doc,0,doc.getLength()); // Use a Writer
       writer.flush();
       
       System.out.println();
       
       System.out.print("OutputStream: ");
       editor.write(System.out,doc,0,doc.getLength()); // Use a OutputStream
       System.out.flush();

       System.out.println();
                                                           
      } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Unexpected : "+e);
               return;
              }
  }
}

Output:
Writer: A string
OutputStream:
