I'd thought than Sun were making it easier to mix components in Mustang
(Java6) but re-reading
<a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/mustang/">http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/mustang/</a>
it appears I was mis-remembering.<br>

I was surprised that Java's displaying of HTML has degraded under 1.5.<br>There are a lot of workarounds in the HTML that we construct for<br>BibleDesktop<br>(which I thought that we could eliminate under 1.5) and it would be
<br>really nice<br>to use a real browser.<br><br>Joe has done surveys of alternates in the past and I recently took a<br>look at<br>where it is all going. While my survey is not anywhere as thorough as Joe's<br>it seems to me that development of a Java base browser is being dropped
<br>in favor of embedding a user's default native browser.<br><br>Joe has started playing with JDIC (Java Desktop Integration Components)<br>Browser component. I have taken a look at his effort and I see that there<br>are two basic challenges. The first is that we need to be able to provide a
<br>protocol handler to do linking to and within Sword modules. This looks<br>like it is very doable. Joe has almost finished this.<br><br>The other challenge is that the embedded JDIC browser is a heavy weight and<br>does not play well with Swing. I have not looked, but I bet that all other
<br>implementations of embedding the browser will have the same problem.<br><br>So the question that this poses is "With what shall we re-write<br>BibleDesktop?"<br><br>And "Do we want to go this route?"
