Open letter to all Linux and WebKit2 fans and HTML/Java (future) supporters.
The donation of new presenters by DukeHoff has been integrated into HTML/Java API version 1.7 - [the javadoc]( https://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.7/) has been kindly generated by Eric. One of the new presenters is [webkit presenter]( https://bits.netbeans.org/html+java/1.7/org/netbeans/html/presenters/webkit/package-summary.html) that is supposed to display using native WebKit component on Linux and Mac OS X. While testing it I have found out that it works on Ubuntu 18.10 (with `libwebkit` installed), but there is no such library on 19.10! It has been made obsolete by `libwebkit2`. Dear supporters, don't you want to rewrite the current `WebKit` binding to `WebKit2`? As far as I can tell the interface talking to `libwebkit` is defined at https://github.com/apache/netbeans-html4j/blob/master/renderer/src/main/java/org/netbeans/html/presenters/render/GTK.java#L126 - one would have to replace those seven methods by a new interface `WebKit2` which would delegate to https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKit2 https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/index.html I can probably study the code and learn the tricks myself, but I'd be glad to get some community help now, when the code belongs to us at Apache. -jt PS: Whoever would write a Windows presenter, would be another hero! Then we would have a complete portability story which doesn't involve dependency on JavaFX...
