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): https://jxbrowser.support.teamdev.com/support/solutions/articles/9000013137-jxbrowser-vs-javafx-webview Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
