This is to be tested with SC 3.5/master.

Just tested Linux, against sc's master branch -- no problems with the hadron stuff I've been working on. Those GUIs are fairly intricate, suggesting that entire classes of regression bugs are probably not there.

The webview looks nice. Just a couple of issues with the help.

- The first time I launched the help browser, before SCDoc had loaded the metadata into memory, I got a prWarnNotYetImplemented (sorry, don't have the stack trace anymore). Second time (with the metadata already loaded), no problem. Recompiling the library (so that SCDoc would have to reload the metadata), also no problem. Probably downloading sbt and building SwingOSC pushed the SCDoc files out of the file system cache, so that the first attempt to open the help browser took longer than expected to scan the documents. Could do some more poking around later, after a reboot.

- Clicking on pretty much anything in the help browser produces "--Ooops. not event thread"

- Links with anchors seem not to work in the help browser. E.g., go to the search page, type "inset" and click on the reference for Rect:insetBy.

"The file /home/dlm/share/SC/RenderedHelp/Classes/Rect.html#-insetBy cannot be found. Please check the location and try again."

Otherwise, very nice! It looks generally slicker, especially the buttons.
