Let's try to embed Chromium into NetBeans! This is in a very early stage, most probably does not work at all. The reason I'm creating a draft, is that there are a few things to discuss here. 1. Do we want to do this? I hope it can be used for markdown previews, better JavaDoc renderer, who knows. 2. Are we Ok with the licensing? It is supposed to be a BSD like license, that gives us better compatibility than a JavaFX based WebKit renderer. 3. The native parts are big, ~100Mb per OS, per architecture. There is an option to download them on the fly from Maven Central, however, I'd prefer to create platform specific nbms, like JavaFX, though licensing would allow to bundle them. 4. What would be the target cluster? Initially thought of platform, then extra, later on, I'm thinking about to add this as it's own cluster, due to the size, and might not necessarily include this to the release right now. 5. This could change how we create the application binaries in the future... (just guessing here) I've only played with the jcef standalone version so far. That one looked quite promising. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
