Using Browser Component
Answered
Guys,
For some reasons it has slipped EAP release notes:
As of latest EAP build it is possble to use embedded mozilla browser
with all the download/upgrade functionality in your own plugins. To get
started take a look at the plugin, which provides the functionality:
http://svn.jetbrains.org/idea/Trunk/htmlbrowser/
The starting point is:
http://svn.jetbrains.org/idea/Trunk/htmlbrowser/source/org/jetbrains/idea/browser/BrowserComponentService.java
(obtain it through PicoContainer).

Hi,
I found the browser component (the links in your post are now dead. The one that worked for me is
http://svn.jetbrains.org/idea/Trunk/bundled/htmlbrowser/
But I don't see any mention of the browser component in the latest download of the OpenAPI doc or find in when searching the the OpenAPI itself either.
Is it something plugin-developers can access/ use now ?
Hey folks,
Does this mean that I could create a splitPane in my editor and have a mozilla browser embedded in one side of the pane or does it
kick off the browser externally to the ide?
Thanks,
Mark.
Hello Mark,
The browser can be embedded in any IDE component, but I don't think you will
be able to add a split pane to the IDEA editor window and have it work reliably.
As you can see, our own preview component is added as a tab in addition to
the main editor component.
