Java gui question

CerebralCortex

I need to be able to open and display in my gui either text files or html files(ie display it like you see this html page here but in a java gui) but the documentation for it online on how to do it seems piss poor. Any ideas?
thanx

This is my only hope all I get online is how to open and display images and how to stream the contents of a file to a jtext area.which is no good to me.

heres how to do html stuff, this displays boards.ie
you can use HyperlinkListener to handle the links but you can find that out for your self.
its takes a few seconds to load, if boards is down change url in code and recomplie

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

public class Browser extends JFrame{
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new Browser();
        frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
    }
    
    public Browser() {
        super("Web Browser - takes a few seconds to load");
        try {
            JEditorPane htmlPane = new JEditorPane("http://www.boards.ie");
            htmlPane.setEditable(false);
            JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(htmlPane);
            getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        }
        catch(IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println(ioe.toString());
        }
        setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
        setVisible(true);
    }
}

I got the text part working and now I am on my way to learning how to do the html part.
