Display more than one webpage inside a JFrame

Question

How can I display more than one webpage inside a JFrame?

    JEditorPane website = new JEditorPane(line);
    website.setEditable(false);
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("JxBrowser");
    addressBar.setText(line);
    frame.add(new JScrollPane(website));
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(800, 600);
    frame.setVisible(true);

I have put this code inside a for loop, as usual website are open in different frame, I want all my browser websites to be open inside a single frame,

How this is possible?

Real browsers typically use tabs, right? And Swing has a JTabbedPane. — JB Nizet, Nov 25 '16 at 10:53

As @JBNizet mentioned in the comments, you could use a JTabbedPane.

Instead of adding the website JEditorPane directly to the JFrame, do this:

JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.add("Website Title", new JScrollPane(website));
frame.add(tabbedPane);

Of course, you shouldn't create a new JTabbedPane or new JFrame for each website, instead you should just add the website as a new tab to the already existing tabbed pane.

Don't forget that each tab would require their own addressBar object.
