Face to face with Java2D

ICEbrowser v6.0.2 - Headless Java Supported!
ICEsoft Technologies Inc., the leading provider of Java browser and Java Web access software, has announced the release of ICEbrowser SDK v6.0.2 and ICEreader SDK v6.0.2. ICEbrowser SDK and ICEreader SDK are now officially supported on JDK 1.5.0.
Both products now support rendering documents in non-visual and headless Java environments. Previously, documents containing embedded IFrames or Framesets were not fully supported in a non-visual context. Now you can use ICEbrowser or ICEreader in headless server-side deployments, such as an HTML to image service.

It's a project that I've been involved with since inception and greatly enjoy.
