First Mobile WebKit Browser for Java Release

Genuitec has just released the initial bits of "WebKit for SWT." Free for download and exploration, the WebKit for SWT is the first Java implementation of the WebKit browser technology. It's developed to serve as a technology platform for Genuitec and the Eclipse Foundation's OSS mobile Web initiative, Eclipse FireFly Mobile Web DevKit. The current release is the component that future releases will be based upon.

The immediate consequence of this release is the ability to embed standards-based Web functionality into both desktop and mobile apps with ease, or create friendly hybrid applications that incorporate native and Web elements.
