Hello, This is my first post to this mailing list.
I was playing around with HTML + text labels on Swing widgets today. I noticed that the sniff test for HTML is defined by this static method: javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicHTML.isHTMLString(String) The test is quite strict. Basically, the string must start with "<html>" -- no whitespace allowed, but it is case insensitive. If there is a good reason for this strictness, please let me know. Otherwise, I would like to submit a small patch (+ test) to improve this static method to be more forgiving. If OK, please also advise about JDK7u vs JDK8. (I don't know if a [simple] patch can be applied to both releases easily.) In Perl regex parlance, something like: m/\s*<html\s*>/i Of course, my solution probably wouldn't use a regex, nor Perl. =) Please share you thoughts. Thanks, Kevin Connor ARPE Hongkong
