JWebPane a Reality?

Artem Ananiev blogs about JWebPane.

Those who attended the JavaOne session already know that JWebPane is based on the widely recognized open sourced engine – WebKit. It is not a secret any more. The WebKit architecture consists of two considerable parts. The first one is cross-platform, it is responsible for parsing documents, generating DOM, supporting JavaScript. Another part, platform-dependent, so called “port”, is intended for communicating with network, rendering graphic content on the screen and other devices, event handling, and other features. JWebPane is a Java port, in which all cross-platform calls are implemented in Java.
