   I have never heard of anyone using an X-based browser on BeOS. Besides,   
   there's a BeOS-native Mozilla port.

   Unfortunately, there isn't. Currently, there's only a Jikes/Kaffe   
   environment around that supports Java 1. But perhaps (I don't know   
   anything, just speculating here) Yellowtab has found a solution and Zeta   
   will bring something more modern, who knows?

   There's a beunited project that aims to create a native port. However,   
   they've not yet left the earliest planning stage and the task is huge...   
      
   I'm sorry, but I don't know about the status of the other programs you   
   mentioned. Hope that helped
