You could use JEditorPane:

String url = "http://host/path";
JEditorPane htmlPane = new JEditorPane(url);
htmlPane.setContentType("text/html");

SwingBox provides a Swing component for displaying HTML documents. It supports more from CSS than the standard JEditorPane. A demo is included in the package.

Most Swing components can include html formatting, but to get the link behaviour right, they need to instance a HyperlinkListener, which are applicable to JEditorPane
