I first took your post to mean the claim JEditorPane was stalled was
speculation. However, now I think you meant "diminishing returns" was
speculation.

The HTML that JEDitorPane supports is pretty primtive and fragile and
it has not changed in years.

It is also very slow.  I think for any volume, you want ot fire up a
browser to render.
