HybridJava widget files contain the definition of a widget in HybridJava language. The language combines HTML markup and Java code in one syntax, allowing the widget's presentation and behavior to be described together.
The files are associated with the multiplatform HybridJava software. They form part of a HybridJava project rather than being general-purpose HTML or Java files.
On Microsoft Windows, Amnesty Generator is also associated with this file type. The format is specific to the HybridJava software and is not a general interchange format.
Open a .widget file with HybridJava on a supported platform. It is best opened as part of the relevant HybridJava project so that its HTML and Java elements can be processed correctly.
On Microsoft Windows, Amnesty Generator can also be used with HybridJava widget files.
