Embedding a Web Browser/HTML Engine in Java

Question

I am making an application in java which would be showing a HTML web page, getting the address of the webpage from a config file. The web page will be on the local disk. Now what i want is, when i start the Java program, the program will be showing the the webpage fullscreen on the computer without the mouse cursor. Now for that i would be first needing a HTML Engine or a web browser which can run inside the java application(events liek press of button etc etc will be passed to the web page from the java application). I cant find a way to show these web pages. I would be needing to show current tech web pages , such that it can process everything from jQuery, Js, Ajax, CSS3, HTML 5. So that beautiful web pages are able to be shown through the Java program.

Answer 1

JxBrowser is a good api for such purpose. It uses the chromium engine which offers an optimum speed just like native browsers. I have used it and it worked for me

Answer 2

Maybe you can give a try to jxbrowser

It promise to be a very good component.

From the home page:
