Have you actually tried it? Last time I was developing client-side Java
(1.1, so a while ago ;) it was kind of the reference platform... for
applets, anyway.

Heh ;) I use seamonkey at work, no problems at all ;) I also find Galeon is
pretty good, as are *-moz-embedded. I guess it depends very much what you're

solid, if a bit old and manky.
