You might have noticed we've been a bit slow with updates over the past couple of weeks as we're dealing with a bit of a backlog. With the kids on holiday from school it's harder to keep up not to mention our travel plans for the summer. As such we're officially in summer vacation until September.

BrowserComponent is a pretty powerful tool when you just want to integrate HTML into your application. We use it a lot in native apps, but surprisingly it's just as useful when we compile an app as a web application. It lets us embed HTML into the web application. But there's a big caveat known as SOP when we do that.

There were a few minor changes since until a month ago when Steve committed some work to address this RFE.
Over the years we wrote a lot of demos for Codename One as well as a lot of test cases. This can get painful after a few dozen projects each of which with their own version of the JARs and build script. To solve this never ending need to organize samples Steve introduced a new samples folder into the open source project.
