being edited, etc)
My understanding is that currently eclipse uses the IE ActiveX component
on the Windows platforms only and has nothing to fill the gap elswhere.
Has such a component been given serious thought? And if so, is it
planned to use an existing engine (Mozilla?) or create a new one that is
purely java-based?

Lev,
I have given a little thought to this and had considered writing an SWT
browser. Having read Java Network Programming, O'Reilly, I found that
Swing components, in-fact, are mostly HTML aware and considered using the
same approach to making SWT components HTML aware.
However, I did not know what the copyright issues to using the Swing
method would be? Does anyone have any ideas as to the best approach or
does Eclipse/IBM already have a solution lurking in the shadows?
Regards,
Joss

See: http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36952
It's planned for 3.0.
It would still be nice to have a fully standards compliant browser widget,
I think

a couple months. Might be worth a look though (if you need something now).

Kev,
I'm fairly sure it was a commercial plugin.

MyEclipse IDE (EA2) recently shipped with JSP and HTML editors that provide
a rendered preview mode capability. Personally, I really like this feature.
MyEclipse has a partnership to use the GrandRapids cross-platform SWT-based
browser component. Check out GrandRapids at
http://www.meyou.com/grandrapid/index.jsp.

BUT my impression is that grandrapids only runs under Windoze..

I'm testing GrandRapids 1.1.1 integrated into the latest internal MyEclipse
Linux build on Redhat at this very moment. Both run fine under Linux. Look
for the MyEclipse IDE GA release on July 15.

Just for your Info:
The Eclipse Platform Componet SWT (Next Milestone Plan 3.0 M2 July 18, 2003)
includes the implementation of an HTML widget using Mozilla.
So I would recommed the webtools project to get in contact with those people
implemeting it.
