Re: Embedding Mozilla with JavaXPCOM and AWT/Swing

I already saw that I could use SWT. The problem is that I have to embed my
browser in a already-done Swing application. I was planning to embed the
browser in a JPanel and to add the JPanel to the Swing app. I think it's
impossible to do such a thing with SWT. I've read that it's impossible to
add SWT components to a Swing app, that's why I was looking for a way to do
it with Swing/AWT.

Am I right or is there a way to add a SWT component to a Swing app?

Thanks for your help
