As I understand, the embedded browser support is only on Windows and Linux.
What options do I have for displaying HTML data from a web server in an
eclipse client on other platforms? Why is the embedded browser support
limited? Thanks, Scott

The Browser widget runs fine under Windows, Linux and MacOS X,
the latter embedding the Safari browser.

Write a bugzilla issue requesting support for your platform:

see:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/faq.html#browserplatforms

So the following platforms seem to be currently supported only:

1. Windows (Internet Explorer 5 or above)
2. Mac (Panther OS X.3 or above. Safari based)
3. Linux GTK and Linux Motif
(both using Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - or above 1.4)
4. Photon

Sorry. That's the downside of the SWT philosophy: if you need
to have some widget for your platform you're doomed or you'll
have to write it yourself. We've got a similar problem with
the Table widget lacking standard functionalities...
