Creating a Windowed Browser

Converting the code we've written to display a document in a window isn't difficult because that code was purposely written to store the output in an array of strings and because I can display those strings in a Java window. In this example, I'll upgrade that code to a new program, browser.java, that will use Java to display XML documents in a window.

Here's how it works. I start by parsing the document the user wants to parse in the main method:

public static void main(String args[]) {
