JEditorPane hangs with a BIG html text

[Guest]

In my app, I have a "JEditorPane" + "JScrollPane".
When I run "setText" with a "String" about 700000 chars long, my app hangs
for about 10 minutes!
"String" has html contents.

What's wrong?
I run WinXP, latest JVM in an AthlonXP 1600+

See a). JEditorPanes are notorious.
They are fine for small amounts of HTML
over which you have complete control,
but little else.

I suggest you write a temporary file
and call BrowserLauncher.
