JEditorPane is not displaying a htm page properly: ActiveX issue

[buntha Choudhary]

I am trying to display a .htm page in a JEditorPane but the display is not proper.
I found that when we try to open that web page in IE , it asks for ActiveX plugin and then it opens properly. But how to resolve the same for JEditorPane.

a JEditorPane object do not understand html pages with embedded JavaScript or ActiveX components. If you attempt to view such pages with a JEditorPane, errors will be reported.

Got this from http://www.sethi.org/classes/cis435/lab_notes/tutorial_swing_components.html. But how to resolve the above or any alternative.

I am trying to use JDIC and I successfully got the url content as well but when I am trying to use some html files in the plugin then the HTML files are not being fetched.
Any input.

ActiveX is an (evil) Internet Explorer only technique for displaying content that cannot be rendered in HTML itself. It's not supported by any other browser. It is not, and probably will not, be supported by Java. There may be a third party library somewhere but I wouldn't count on it.

To be honest, I consider this site to be crippled. It apparently has no support for any other browsers, including Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari. That takes away quite a big chunk out of the potential user base.

I got the desired result through jcid plugin but I am now interacting with a new issue.
As I am building a Eclipse plugin, I have a dump of linked html and those htmls are not coming as a part of the plugin.
I mean when we try to create plugin , the html contents are not coming. So how should I resolve this issue. Am I need to include something with the classpath.

Is there any way/tool to remove all the activeX and .swf content from HTML package.
