The only options I found were:
1. Wrap the Mozilla Gecko engine, which would work on all platforms but
is quite large; or
2. Wrap the KHTML engine, which is currently being ported to win32
(http://khtml-win32.sourceforge.net/), and would then work on all
platforms and be a lot smaller than Gecko - and less feature rich and
standards compliant, but the second issue will change.
In either case you'll have to ship the binary libs appropriate for each
platform, and you'll have to do the wrapping. Good way to get yourself
some devkudos.
Of course Swing has a built in HTML viewer/editor, and there are a
number of more advanced HTML platforms available for Swing/AWT, but the
SWT/AWT bridging (which ships unsupported with eclipse) is an
undocumented hack and only works on Win32.
This issue forced me to abandon SWT for one project and switch to Swing
+ the JGoodies LooksPro/SwingSuite (http://www.jgoodies.com/) because I
didn't have time to work on the KHTML port or the Gecko wrapping. I
highly recommend the JGoodies stuff - worth every cent and my Swing apps
look just like Eclipse :) I like SWT and have built Eclipse plugins, but
horses for courses...
