The problem is not with Java the language, but with the component
JEditorPane. More specifically, the problem is in the default
HTMLEditorKit that is used by JEditorPane to render the HTML. As it
says in the docs, the HTMLEditorKit only supports HTML 3.2, which is
pretty inadequate nowadays.

Instead of extending JEditorPane, you should probably look into third-
party packages that are meant to handle this problem. I can't
personally recommend any good free ones, but you can take a look at
this website, which reviews a few: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/05/24/html-pt1.html.
That website is pretty old (3 years) so you should just do a Google
search for "Java HTML renderer" and take a look at what comes up.
