This release also includes the updated version of WinPack, free add-on enabling access to the Windows native API and libraries from Java code. WinPack 3.8.1 introduces low level keyboard and mouse hooks that allow working with 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows systems.

About a month ago we announced the Early Access Program (EAP) for JxBrowser 2.0, our cross-platform library that allows integrating Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari (WebKit) and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers into Java AWT/Swing applications. During this month we've received a lot of feedback and questions. Using this feedback we've made several changes in JxBrowser 2.0 API and added new important features:

• Canceling navigation - allows receiving notification before web page loading starts and canceling navigation if needed;
• Cookies management - allows receiving, updating, deleting Browser cookies;
• MIME type handling - allows making a decision whether to display content with a specified MIME type or not;
• Navigation.waitReady method - allows blocking current thread execution until document is loaded completely.

To see all changes and features we've made in EAP2 please check out the JxBrowser 2.0 EAP2 Release Notes.

The JxBrowser 2.0 EAP2 build with included demo application and samples is available for download. Note: The EAP2 build is bundled with an evaluation license that expires December 9, 2009.

Please feel free to ask for help or just leave feedback at our support forum and stay tuned for new versions with more powerful and exciting features.

TeamDev is happy to announce the Early Access Program (EAP)* for JxBrowser 2.0, a cross-platform library that allows integrating Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari (WebKit) and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers into Java AWT/Swing applications on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.

In this version we have added support of Apple Safari (WebKit) engine on Mac OS X platform and Internet Explorer on Windows. With JxBrowser 2.x, you have a choice - which browser engine your Java application should use on different operating systems. You can reduce your application distribution package size by excluding Mozilla XULRunner files for Mac OS X (51Mb) and Windows (19Mb), and use the default system browser instead: Safari on Mac OS X and Internet Explorer on Windows.

You can get an access to the powerful browser engines functionality through the new JxBrowser 2.x API. Samples in distribution package will demonstrate how you can navigate to a web page and wait until the page is loaded; take a full web page screen shot and save it to image file; get access to browser events, DOM, browser features and more.

In JxBrowser 2.0 EAP we provide access to the old JxBrowser 1.x API, so you can update JxBrowser to 2.x version and run your already created Java applications without changes in source code. But we strongly recommend you to use the new 2.x API, because the old one will be deprecated in the future.

Download the JxBrowser 2.0 EAP build and try the included demo application and samples. Note: The EAP build is bundled with an evaluation license that expires November 10, 2009.
