</div>To really get Java to shine with RTL, you will need to ditch Swing.<br>
(BD still uses Swing.) Swing has poor bidi algorithm and rtl<br>
rendering. It's handling of joiners in fonts is poor also.<br>
<br>
Our plan for BD is to use an embedded browser. Ideally it would be the<br>
same on all platforms (e.g. Mozilla's xulRunner or WebKit), but we may<br>
end up with IE for windows, xulRunner for Linux and WebKit for Mac.<br>
