[OP has had problems with JEditorPane and HTML]
All this to ask: Is Java reliable for HTML rendering or should I bag
the idea that Java can do this?

Java, the programming language, is just as suitable as any other programming language for HTML rendering (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_complete).

One specific piece of code written in Java (e.g. JEditorPane) may be bad at rendering HTML, just like one specific piece of code written in any language might be bad at rendering HTML.

You may be interested in http://jrex.mozdev.org/ among other Java HTML projects.
