I would like to display an RTF document in an SWT (actually Eclipse RCP) application.

I know there is a Swing widget for displaying and editing RTF text, but it is Swing and quite alien in look and feel when used in the otherwise platform (not to mention that to the last of my knowledge it did not display images and had only limited support for formatting)

Other options is to use COM interface on windows, but that works only on the windows platform and requires that an ActiveX RichEdit contol be installed on the customer machine… which can make the deployment of the application quite horrendous…

What are the other options for displaying rich documents inside Eclipse/SWT application?
