I am building an Eclipse plug-in for managing a knowledge base. This
involves
storing html-files in a database and viewing them in Eclipse.
Let's say I have a string buffer which contains a HTML document. How
can I show it in an Eclipse view? I would like to show plain text (as in a
web
browser) not hml source code. I don't want to create a temporary
file on hard disk.
I can show contents of the buffer in a TextViewer, but this obviously
shows it as it is (=html source code) and not as as in a web browser.
The document does not contain hyper links or references to other files.
I could create a parser and remove all html tags from the string buffer
before showing it. But do you know a smarter way to atchieve what I need?
All answers are highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Katja
ps. If my question was not clear, let me know.

Many thanks for your reply. I have already been looking at the class =
org.eclipse.ui.browser.IWebBrowser, which
I suppose is what you had in mind too. The interface only provides =
method "open_url" which takes java.net.URL as an input
parameter. I'm a complete newbie on the area, but I'll try to see if I =
could use data URI scheme to pass my string to the browser...

The SWT Browser widget is probably what you were thinking of, as it
can take a simple string for display.

The SWT widget (org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser) is indeed what I am =
looking for.
