I believe JWebPane is going to be the official way to embed a browser into a java app. Its based on the open sourced engine - WebKit, which is used in Apples Safari and Googles Chrome browsers.See this blog for details.

You could use SWT for your GUI. Its Browser control allows you to embed IE, Mozilla or Safari (depending on the platform you're running in) with little pain.

Solution 5 - Java

By far the most robust embeddable browser I am familiar with is the one in SWT. In fact, it is so flexible that the JavaDoc hover you can see in Eclipse is actually a browser, and the JavaDoc view actually supports things like animation!

The only risk with using SWT is that there are different versions of the SWT library for different platforms. I'm not sure if there is a singl jar you could include to cover everyone.

Take a look at https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/

Solution 7 - Java

JxBrowser has not been mentionned yet. It embed either Mozilla Firefox (Gecko), Apple Safari (WebKit) or Internet Explorer. Programmer's Guide

You could also try the JWebBrowser from DJ Native Swing: http://djproject.sourceforge.net/ns

Solution 9 - Java

I have successfully opened a browser from Java using http://www.eclipse.org/swt/">SWT</a>;. You can find http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/#browser">code examples of how to use SWT to open a Browser window. It's very easy to do.

Solution 10 - Java

You can embed a browser in a Swing/AWT GUI using the JDIC API. I don't see any mention of OS X, so it may not be of use to you.

Solution 11 - Java

You can try Webrenderer or Ice Browser

Solution 12 - Java

If you need a pure Java solution then you can try JWebEngine. It render HTML 4 very good. You can use it in an applet, Java webstart and on any platform. The using is very simple.

Solution 13 - Java

You could try a JEditorPane, it doesn't interpret advanced HTML, nor Javascript, nor advanced CSS, but you can write that part yourself, called the EditorKit. That is the class/object that is consulted by the JEditorPane or how it has to display its content.

I know its possible, because I tried and failed (:P), but it could be outdated or deprecated by now, I don't know.

Solution 14 - Java

If you look at The Minecraft launcher (the old one), look through LoginForm or LauncherFrame, you may be able to find out that method. There is a tutorial by kippykip on youtube on how to decompile and edit it: here
