Does anyone know where can I find Java base Web Browser component for

My project need to have a internal browser for time sheet, and I  cannot

find anyone that is compatible with 1.4.2 and Mac OS X.

There is the HTMLEditorKit stuff as well. No native required. Depending on the nature of this time sheet app maybe.

I recommend the WebKit & Java integration.

http://www.concord.org/~dmarkman/jws/webkit/

It uses JNI and com.apple.eawt.CocoaComponent, and you can easily

integrate the webkit4java with existing Swing components.

This project is now up on Source Force as WebKitJava:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitjava

Of particular note, embedded WebKit in a Java app will fail

if directed to a Java applet unless Java is disabled via the

WebPreferences class (Objective C). Of course, the applet

will not work when that is done, but at least the failure is

not a catastrophic one. This is due to a limitation of only

one JVM running in a process,

The HTMLEditorKit for whatever reason I don't think includes either applet tag handling or _javascript_ support. Parsing the applet related and somehow linking in Mozilla Rhino for the _javascript_ almost seem like they should both be do-able. In fact I think I have considered doing them both, but knowing very little at the time of how _javascript_ related to the DOM stuff and what all went into that I didn't get too far. I still don't have a comprehensive understanding. Splicing the applet support in I'm not sure why I didn't complete, that really doesn't seem to have the _javascript_ difficulties. Just parse the tag and run the applet. The same seems like it should possibly apply here. If you can parse the info you can run the code? 

 

and the applet requires a

different set of parameters than an application.

You need to have some classes providing the AppletContext to do it from java. I did a little messing with that based on a java world example. For most simple purposes it allowed running applets. Actually commandline although I never really got into handling parameters correctly...

public class run
