Re: Embedding Mozilla with JavaXPCOM and AWT/Swing

You can always have xulrunner powering the GUI as it sees fit, and call 
back into java via JavaXPCom

An alternative might be to look at SWT and how the eclipse folk are 
doing xulrunner integration as this will work in all the major platforms 
(ala

As far as I am aware you *only* need to use JNI if you need to handroll 
the integration to the windowing / widget library yourself
