The suite is released as Open Source under the terms of the LGPL license.
It is a suite of native components all “Servoy-Aware” and tightly integrated with Servoy 5. Included are:
a browser bean
a flash player bean
a html editor bean
a client plugin to rule them all
a server plugin to configure
an installer to help deployment
The suite is in preview quality right now (v0.8.45), but the idea is to get as much feedback as possible to help creating the best possible v1.0 asap.
I will soon setup a google-code site or sourceforge.net site to host the sources with a SVN or CVS access. Right now I’m trying to find a reliable way to package the 4 related Eclipse projects, configuration files, dependencies, installer files in an easy to download way for developers to use…
Anyway, if you do try this stuff, please report, using the contact form on my site, or sending me a PM here on the forum or via private email.
Send me as much details as possible for bug reports, and feel free to also send me your dream feature requests, suggestions, comments, etc…
The current version is now 0.8.84, I have worked a lot on the installer/uninstaller lately so this one should give you a much better user experience.
I will now start working on the documentation, while fixing any bugs that you might report when trying it in your own environment.
The version will probably change to v0.9 once the documentation is written and integrated, then it will be only a matter of testing on all possible configurations and try to push it to its limit to get the best possible v1. In the meantime, I also started reorganizing all the sources to be able to release them as easy to use Eclipse projects that you will be able to check-out from an SVN or CVS repository.
The set of functionnalities are now almost complete I think, but if there is something that you really miss, drop me a line.
Please consider voting for the resolution of these bugs if you intend to use the Browser Suite in the future because you or your users will be affected by them.
You can also comment if you like, stating that these bugs are actually delaying the need you have of an SWT port on Servoy.

I have also compiled a list of all the SWT bugs still unresolved on the Eclipse bugzilla system, you can find it here: http://www.servoy-stuff.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry091207-052543

Thank you Patrick for spending time in digging into dirt for us, in order that we can use a great, free browser tool!
I like to encourage everyone to vote on any open bug on the ServoyStuff list!
