Good solution to integrate Google Map in Java desktop application?

Question

I want integrate a Map inside a Jpanel where I can set latitude and longitude, move the map location, drag, etc.. (like google map web) I don't see any Java desktop application with this function and not recent info about this. I want a free solution for this.

I am currently testing goole api services. But They provide me the info but not the map integration.

There are other solutions that I am not investigating?

Embed google maps in Java desktop Application (2013)
Is there a Swing component for Google Maps? (JXMapViewer - java.net page closed and not found the real article)
- Google Map in JAVA Swing (Can't use static map in desktop, TOS violation)
- Embedding Gecko/WebKit in Java (JxBrowser, paid / JavaXPCOM not active)

Java-FX offers an embeddable browser.. – Andrew Thompson Oct 27 '17 at 11:35 — Andrew Thompson, Oct 27 '17 at 11:35

JXMapViewer was a part of SwingLabs, which brought us also SwingX, but with java.net no longer available, it's webpage is no longer reachable.

There is a fork of JXMapViewer named JXMapViewer2, which seems better maintained and offers also examples how to use it: https://github.com/msteiger/jxmapviewer2
