title: Rendering a Java application in a browser (without Java installed)
body: <p>I am researching possible ways to deploy an existing Java Swing application in a browser such that the client would not need to have a Java runtime installed (and "plugged into" the browser).</p>
  
  <p>The application including the UI would need to run on a server, but the GUI should then "somehow" be rendered in a plain vanilla (of course JavaScript-enabled) browser. Performance and scalability are for once not an issue here...</p>
  
  <p>The challenge is to get away with minimal changes or wrappers of the original Swing application.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of Eclipse RAP that allows something like that and using the SWT_AWT bridge it should then be possible to embed the Swing UI inside an SWT wrapper and render that on a browser.</p>
  
  <p>I wonder, whether there are any other alternatives or approaches that come to mind?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,
  Michael</p>
