I think we all agree this is just hot air – after a year and a half nothing has been published. I mean, how long can it take after demoing until you release it? Maybe Oracle killed it like they’ll kill Netbeans …

Ok, that was below the belt …

Well, at JavaOne (back in June) they said that they would announce a release date in a couple of months. Hopefully we’ll hear soon on an official release date.

This is an interesting component, I have been looking for something similar to this to create a new application which extensively use browser component.

Any idea when it will be release ?

I think it’s pretty darn impressive that it’s all rendered using Java2D and Swing. Some great piece of work right there.

Hi Mohamed,

All the widgets are rendered using Swing. WebKit doesn\’t actually provide any rendering capability, but instead provides callbacks indicating what and where to paint. This means that JWebPane is a lightweight (rather than heavyweight) component, which is another bonus.

They should really open it … I bet they are using the WebKit full package. I wish they would have done what Google has done, they just used WebKit for Rendering html/css content and use a better JS engine such as V8. As well, I hope they are using Swing components to render the such as textfields, dropdowns etc… And they are according to the screenshot, you can see the scroll bars (I hope the rest are too). I was hoping a more open design on what they are doing, maybe the community could help develop it instead of waiting longer. We already waited 10+ years.
