Display a webpage inside a swing application

Question

I would like to display a webpage inside a java swing application. Similar to a when using HTML, but in java Swing. Is this possible and if so, how?

*"display a webpage"* Is this a web page that you control? If not, forget `JEditorPane` - it is not a browser component. — Andrew Thompson, May 16 '12 at 05:51

Use a JEditorPane:

JEditorPane jep = new JEditorPane();
jep.setEditable(false);   

try {
  jep.setPage("http://www.yoursite.com");
}catch (IOException e) {
  jep.setContentType("text/html");
  jep.setText("<html>Could not load</html>");
} 

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(jep);     
JFrame f = new JFrame("Test HTML");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
f.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,600));
f.setVisible(true);

You might want to look at http://java.dzone.com/articles/web-browser-your-java-swing.

JxBrowser lets you display any webpage,by embedding a browser into your swing application.

Worth noting that JxBrowser is proprietary and costs quite some. – Franklin Yu Mar 28 '18 at 20:51
