Since we're comparing Java to Javascript for the purposes of an equation editor,
I did a quick google search and found that the author of jsmath wrote
a javascript
equation editor. Please try it out:
http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/talks/2006-12-08.IMA/editor.html
It uses jsmath to implement an equation editor. Lets see how many
people have trouble using this and how many don't, and what you think
of how it looks.
