Subsequent to the XOE 1.0 release, Transvirtual ported it to run on any JVM, but they never released that code (Transvirtual is no longer in business). It did a pretty spiffy job of rendering a lot of difficult web pages, and it was reasonably fast too. I'd love to see somebody take this orphaned code and clean it up and make it into a standalone project. A lot of the DOM, layout/rendering and parsing code is probably worth preserving, as it took a lot of work to get that to do a reasonably decent job.
