Re: Embedding Mozilla with JavaXPCOM and AWT/Swing

Sorry had to spend a bit of time thinking about this, I am actually not 
a GUI programmer by trade :S

Going back to hooky ways to pull this off, it might be possible to embed 
swing / awt inside SWT (I know this is a bit of a reverse of
"Am I right or is there a way to add a SWT component to a Swing app?" )

I am unsure about how well supported it is across platforms, and if it 
has issues with any advanced usages of swing, but otherwise it might be 
worth a look

and
