Early in my programming education, I was learning Java and looking for a good project to work on to improve my knowledge so I decided to create a basic text editor and used RSyntaxTextArea to provide syntax-highlighting. Though as a Sublime Text user, I was disappointed to find that there wasn't a Monokai theme.

I then noticed that there was an issue on the project repo that had similarly requested that a Monokai theme be added, so I decided to make my own and submitted a pull request.
