I'm doing some stuff with Jambi's Webkit classes (although I'm certainly no expert). I don't know what Dom 3 is or what javaxpcom can do specifically (I'm not a professional programmer by trade). What I'm using it for is as a basic HTML editor by setting contenteditable to true, so my use sounds a little different than yours.
I haven't had any troubles with Javascript, but the Javascript is pretty basic so I can't say that I've taxed that area a whole lot. I've done DOM manipulation without any problems in JavaScript. The biggest problem I've had is that Webkit produces HTML that can't be parsed by QTs XML classes since Webkit. I got around this by using JTidy to clean up some of the tags. It is difficult to get some of the actual HTML using Jambi. For example cursor manipulation on an editable page or finding the HTML of selected text rather than just the text itself, but that could easily be my ignorance. I also really wish it had a built in spell checker but I guess I can't have everything. The most useful thing is that you can expose Java classes to Webkit and access them in JavaScript. That saves a bunch of effort passing data between Java & Webkit. A couple of years ago I tried SWT but ran into too many problems and the documentation wasn't very clear. The issues were almost certainly my lack of understanding. Jambi was much easier and had better examples. I've used it equally well on Windows & Linux using both 64 & 32 bit builds. I'm using the 4.5 release. I tried the 4.6 release but the Windows port had a few issues. They were not critical, but I didn't have any specific need to go to 4.6 so I stuck with 4.5. When 4.7 is out I'll check again. If you are using Eclipse, the biggest problem I've had is debugging. I can view some of the Qt classes, but just pointers to the classes and I can't examine the contents themselves. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me how. :-) I don't use the designer so I can't comment on that compared to other tools. I hope this helps.
