Multiple Browsers on one Machine (yes, even IE)

You are a web developer, who needs to test you app on different browsers? Even on different versions of IE, which cannot be installed on a single windows installation at the same time?

You might want to check out http://www.xenocode.com/browsers/, where all popular browsers (on Windows) are provided as executable .exe files. No installation, but in a isolated virtual environment.

Update: High Resolution (German) warns, that the virtual sandboxes will slow down your computer. Although I didn’t notice a slow down, I stopped using it. As an alternative they recommend IETester, and virtual machines provided by MS.

JWebPane: Swing WebKit Component

JWebPane provides WebKit as a Swing component - how cool is that. Let the UI guys use HTML/CSS to do the user interface, and let the Java guys implement the functionality.

Not tested, not even downloadable yet, just wanted to let you know…
