How to use Browser to render html files in jar file? [message #433338]

I was trying to display html files in jar file. I used these in my
application:
Browser browser = new Browser(container, SWT.NONE);

Class baseClass = this.getClass();

URL url = baseClass.getResource(anHtmlFile);

System.out.println("URL =" + url);

browser.setUrl(url.toString());

This didn't work. The print statement shows something like this:

jar:file:jar_file_name!class_path/htmlfile_location

Do I have to use browser.setText()?

Thanks.

I had the same problem (see my post "How to open a file from jar file in
Browser widget on Windows" posted 19.03.2004). Unfortunately no one was
able to help me :(

If you're using Linux, the browser widget is Mozilla, which supports
urls of the form returned by getResource(). However if you're using
Windows, the browser is Internet Explorer. In this case you may use
getResourceAsStream() method instead, read the contents of the file to
the memory and then set it in the browser using setText() method.

Hope this helps

Not sure if this is still relevant to anyone anymore, but I found this seems
to work for loading within Jar's. Not sure how efficient it is though...
URL url = new URL(url);
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(reader);
String str;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
while((str = br.readLine())!=null){
sb.append(str);
}
browser.setText(sb.toString());

Oh...its not as trivial as that. Should the SWT implementation handle this,
or is it the responsibility of the programmer? Why does the setUrl method
take a type String argument rather than a java.net.URL one?
