Is it possible to embed a browser within a desktop java application that can handle session data and possibly cookies? It should be able to handle a login to eBay and paypal websites.

  • I saw that question but there was no mention of ability to login to websites. – Vitaliy Isikov Aug 01 '12 at 20:43
  • @VitaliyIsikov Surely *one* of the solutions posted can act as a full-featured UA (e.g. supports cookies) .. –  Aug 01 '12 at 20:46
  • If the goal is searching, selecting and buying items why not use eBay APIs instead? http://developer.ebay.com/common/api/ – orangepips Aug 01 '12 at 20:57

I would suggest using the SWT Browser class. It uses an available native browser, and it supports everything you should need.

Java FX 2.xx has WebView which is an embedded browser. If you are working in a Swing environment, you can still embed that Java FX 2.x component in a Swing panel.

ps: I don't know for sure if it can handle login to eBay and Paypal but I would have thought it does because it is built on WebKit engine.
