Webclient?

Hi everyone,

After spending the last couple of hours trying to figure out what the
options for seamlessly embedding a browser into Java, I think Webclient
looks like it would be the best fit for some experiments I want to do.

I found this thread from Ed in the archives on the then-current status:
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.java/browse_thread/thread/a6670753cf59c55b/2a2155aaf2e4babf?lnk=gst&q=webclient+status&rnum=1#2a2155aaf2e4babf

Looking at CVS, it looks like there's been some activity in the project,
but the documentation on the project page seems a bit dusty... ;)  I was
wondering if someone (Ed?) could maybe shed some light on the current
status and when things might be reaching some level of usability.  It
doesn't have to necessarily be stable, just more-or-less work for what
I'm trying to do at the moment.

Any information would be most helpful in trying to figure out if I try
and base my experiments on Java or a less-portable runtime environment. 
Part of me doesn't care, but what I'm doing will eventually need to work
on Windows and OSX, so I'm leaning more towards Java at the moment.

Thanks in advance,

ast
