         JEditorPane is a lame HTML renderer...  Its only for very, very
         simple HTML.

         Either license the IceSoft Browser (all java... very fast) or
         use one of the COM/Java bridges to talk to IE.

         Sun *NEEDS* a good HTML renderer for Java.  I don't think they
         realize how many corporations use such a component.  If Swing
         had a good HTML renderer (and therefore a good "receiver" for
         JSP/servlets), we wouldn't have to rely on Microsoft IE for
         web apps... of course, modulo the "weight" of javax.swing (et al).

         Dear Sun:  please license the Icesoft browser or acquire the company.

         If only they kept up with HotJava... :(
