Display URL object into eclipse.swt.Browser [message #665956]

Hello,

I would like to display the content of an HTML file into org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser

Browser has function setUrl(String).

The problem is: my HTML file located in another jar, so I can't get the string representation of URL which points to it. I can get only URL object.

Is the a way to display this URL object ?

May be is there another swt component which can help me ?

P.S. I am not interersting in opening external bowsers (like PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport().createBrowser( ...).openURL).

Thank you in advance,
Arkady.

Hi,

There isn't a way to point the Browser at an HTML file contained in a jar.
You need to either extract the file somewhere on the file system and
setUrl() to it there, or read the file's content into a String and set it
into the Browser with setText(). If this is running in the context of an
eclipse plug-in or rcp app then the platform can extract the file to a
temporary location and give you the location for your setUrl() call.

Grant, thank you for proposal.

Unfortunately, my HTML contains links to images with paths related to location of HTML itself. So, reading content of HTML to String or copy HTML in temporary location will not help me much.

Arkady.
