Is there a good drop-in replacement for Java's JEditorPane?

Question

I'm not happy with the rendering of HTML by Swing's JEditorPane. In particular bullets for unordered lists are hideous. Customising the rendering seems extremely difficult. Therefore I'm looking for a replacement with better HTML rendering.

Does this exist? (I asked Google, and found nothing except a promising dead link).

Answer 1

Take a look at SwingBox.

SwingBox is a Java Swing component that allows displaying the (X)HTML documents including the CSS support. It is designed as a JEditorPane replacement with considerably better rendering results. SwingBox is pure Java and it is using the CSSBox rendering engine for rendering the documents.

Answer 2

Cobra did the trick. Almost a drop-in replacement for JEditorPane, with very nice HTML rendering. One complaint: it's a big jar to add to my little application.

Thanks for the responses.

Something that I looked at extensively a while back - and there are many options - however I nearly ended up using http://lobobrowser.org/cobra.jsp, but then the project was cancelled so I can't tell you how it all turned out...
