Aonix is licensing EBS's WebC embedded web browser solution to integrate it into the graphics capabilities of the PERC platform. By adding browser capabilities, PERC platform developers will be able to offer the HTML-based capabilities of integrated help and documentation along with web-based browsing in embedded applications such as set top devices, information kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, and handheld diagnostic or data-gathering tools.

EBS's WebC is a small footprint, full featured, advanced embedded web browser. WebC supports Document Object Model Level 1, CSS/2 positioned format support, JavaScript language version 1.4, improved DHTML support and browser-level event handling. WebC uses HTML authoring techniques to storyboard the GUI application.

Aonix is currently integrating EBS's WebC embedded browser with the Eclipse Software Widget Toolkit (SWT) to deliver a high-performance graphics package for embedded Java developers. Since SWT is designed to be as close to the native environment as possible, it offers the ideal choice for graphics in embedded applications. The Aonix SWT interface, a Java-based graphics library and a widget toolkit, supports Swell Software’s PEG+ embedded graphics engine. The integrated WebC will be available for sale in Q3 2006.

"The EBS WebC embedded browser is a perfect fit for the Aonix PERC Virtual Machine and SWT/PEG+ graphics solution,” said Randy Rorden, Aonix vice president of engineering. “It allows our customers to enjoy all the benefits of the standard SWT Browser widget, while controlling the memory footprint requirements so critical to embedded systems."

"We are pleased to partner with Aonix to provide embedded Java developers with access to WebC,” said Peter Van Oudenaren, President EBS, Inc. “The integration of WebC into the PERC platform offers Aonix users a rich toolset for displaying HTML-based help screens and formatted data. The toolset also expands developer’s options, giving them the opportunity to include in their embedded Java applications web-based components and to display either static or dynamically generated web pages from either local or remote web servers."

First introduced nine years ago, PERC is a widely used real-time Virtual Machine available for Java developers, with fielded installations in telecommunications, telematics, avionics, deep space exploration, and office automation applications. PERC supports most major real-time operating systems and a variety of target processors including PowerPC, XScale, ARM, and Intel x86 architectures.
