Java based brower for Linux

[KeyserSoze1877]

I am looking for a web browser that is written for Linux and preferably written in Java, but C++ will do. Bascially, I need the source to learn how to write my own browser for a project I am working on for work here.

It needs to be able to handle SSL, javascript, all the works. Graphics and plugins are not necessary since I need to only use my browser as text based to generate traffic not for a single user. Anyone know of a place where I can get some code for this?

Thanks.

Shoot... I was a bit fast...

You could also browse through SourceForge ans see what is currently being developed?

Sun has a java based browser that supports the requirements that you listed. "Hotjava", but of course, it's not.

There were two others listed here, but dead links.
You may be able to find them elsewhere.

Hi,





The only open source java based browser I know of is Xbrowser (

http://xbrowser.sourceforge.net/)

. However see also the http client library available here -->

.





You could also check the GNU java page which has lots of links to GPL java projects -->

.





Also of interest may be the W3C test browser, amaya, which is also open source. Its C based not java but purports to support / test all

http://www standards,

i.e. including the latest bleeding edge stuff.

Hope this helps
