Hello!
In my NetBeans platform application, I would like to display some Javadoc for a
helper class in a separate tab using the internal NetBeans browser. The
Javadoc is bundled up with the application.
Opening a URL in the internal browser is described at
https://netbeans.apache.org/wiki/main/wiki/DevFaqHowToOpenURL/
My code looks like:
URL url1 = di1.getClass().getResource("/index.html");
HtmlBrowser.URLDisplayer.getDefault().showURL(url1);
This opens up in a tab within my application with the note "JavaScript is
disabled on your browser". Unfortunately the Javadoc, while it does basically
work, is not rendered properly, and as such does not look nice and doesn't seem
to function well without javascript.
The link in the internal browser's address bar (running in debug mode) is
jar:file:/C:/Users/jhuber/Documents/source/java/netbeans15/ProSuite/build/cluster/modules/ext/cond-javadoc.jar!/com/stanref/st/cond/package-summary.html
I could use
HtmlBrowser.URLDisplayer.getDefault().showURLExternal(url1);
to open the default system browser, but the external system browser can't deal
with the abovet URL. Also, if possible, I would prefer to use the internal
browser in tab within my app.
Is there a way to enable javascript in the internal NetBeans browser?
