Re: [ jEdit-users ] embeding Gecko in InfoViewer

Any particular reason? I thought similarly until I investigated the project 
which Marcin referred to (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/). It 
appears to actually allow one to embed the Gecko browser into a frame. Look at 
the Webclient subproject (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/webclient).

This piece of code on the webclient page got my interest up in a big way:

// Create the browser
BrowserControlCanvas browser  = 
    BrowserControlCanvasFactory.newBrowserControlCanvas();
add(browser, BorderLayout.CENTER);

My only concerns are:

1. is it stable enough to use?
2. is it a memory hog? I have trouble using both jEdit and Mozilla on my laptop 
(a pII/300 with 128M) at the same time, so this is a valid concern.
