I am using SWT on a server management console.
I don`t know if there is any way to display the reports in HTML format.

Does Eclipse provide a rich text widget that can display HTML?
Or some third parties provide it.

No. (Other than the really trivial formatters used for infopops.) Eclipse
uses native controls (e.g., Explorer on Windows, when they are available).

Not that I know.

Not for now, but there are plans to incorporate such functionality
in Eclipse 2.2. The relevant text from the draft plan:

---------------------------------------
[Display HTML in a widget] In Eclipse 2.0 and 2.1, the only
supported option for rendering HTML in the workbench is to use OLE
to link to IE. This support is Windows only; there is no such
option in other operating environments. Even on Windows, this only
works for IE and not other browsers. There are already several
Eclipse components that could benefit from HTML display
functionality in a widget: welcome pages; update manager update
site overview; hovers that show Javadoc. The Platform should
provide a portable way to display HTML in a widget and support it
in all operating environments. [Platform UI]
---------------------------------------

The draft plan can be found on
< http://eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_ 2_
2.html>
(all on one line, of course)

Kind regards,
Wald

Thanks for pointing this out. This would certainly be a great addition to
the platform!
