Rendering HTML for display in a Java app?

[Matt S.]

Hello all,

I need to create a system that renders HTML within a Java Swing app.
Essentially I have HTML content that I need complete control of as to
how it is displayed (e.g. cycle through pages, render a screen in
memory of I can apply fade effects etc). So I need essentially a
method of rendering HTML to a Java canvas or some other Swing widget.
This'll run on Linux, so I am also not adverse to calling on an
external system if needs be (Mozilla, FireFox, etc), but I need a
robust and stable engine, so I'd be happier to keep everything in
Java. Anyone have any pointers so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?

Thanks,

Matt

An importatn question here is..
Do you have complete control over the HTML
you _receive_?

If you _generate_ the HTML, or the answer is
otherwise 'yes',...

...within a Java Swing app.

....you might consider a JEditorPane.

...but I need a
robust and stable engine,...

...hmmmm. I do not recall JEditorPanes ever
being accused of being either robust or stable,
but you might check them out..

Have you tried IceSoft? <http://www.icesoft.com>

There is also web renderer <http://www.webrenderer.com>. Also, you
might want to search sourceforge as there used to be a couple of open
source projects going at one time.
