JWebPane


This is something Java/Swing community has been crying for years. We even received numerous requests to make such a component (and we declined all requests). That’s a lightweighted Swing component for html viewing (or editing). JDIC gave us some hope several years ago even though it is JNI based but that’s project went nowhere. There was no indication that Sun is working on it, until the first day of JavaOne when a JWebPane component was announced. Surprise! The demo looked pretty good. It is just there is no demo for public to play with at the moment. I am certainly eager to give it a try when it is avaialble in June or July.

For those whose are interested in it, the author just posted a blog on it.

I have no idea. It is one of the secret projects that Sun is working on under the hood. Hope to see it in real soon.
