Description
Java applications should be able to embed the html rendering engine of the desktop's default browser. The scope of this feature is to enable applications to easily embed the browser. It is not to enable the development of browser chrome for a complete browser around the html engine in Java.

This RFE is for tracking the Mustang approved feature "Allow embedding of HTML browser in Java applications".
Comments
