I expect any solid web engine takes at least 50 MB. Whis is IMHO too much. I'd 
rather use browser available on user computer. If JavaScript route is too 
radical, I would prefer JavaFX client with Java-friendly HTML renderer like 
JavaFX WebView or JxBrowser (the latter is commercial if not used for open 
source projects):
