I really don't think that's anyone working on webclient right now. I
made a search on cvs and found that since 10 aug (1.2 release) almost
nothing has been done to it. I could be wrong (I hope).

I found a work around to this problem. It seams that all the ancestors
of the BrowserControlPanel must be initialized before you can add it an
a JPanel. Practically the parent JPanel must be initialized and drew on
the interface before you can add BBC. This impose a limitation, you can
not make all the BBC init in the JPanel constructor. You first must
instanciate the JPanel, added on its parent and after that call some
initBrowser() method that will initialize and add the BBC on the JPanel
(I was talking here about a class that extends JPanel).
Of course you will deal with heavy-light component mix problem, but
that's a minor one.
