Yes, all the required libraries are there to support your effort (Java2D/Swing for the rendering, SAX/DOM for the XML parsing, ...).

This is not a simple task however, and creating a fully compliant browser (one that would pass all ACID tests, for instance) from scratch could take you at least a couple of weeks, full time.

  • A couple of weeks? I'd say it'd require longer than that. More on the order of months, but then I'm conservative. Hope it's not an "end of semester" project. – duffymo Apr 22 '11 at 16:14
  • I think "a couple of weeks, full time" was supposed to be a joke. I would estimate the effort at multiple years to get to ACID passing levels, although you can probably build a retro browser with support for HTML 1.0 in maybe a few months. – Konstantin Komissarchik Apr 22 '11 at 16:21
