I've been into web development for a while, and JS has really proven worthy. But this time, I want to build a desktop app (with SQLITE). I want the app to be built in Java, but I'm afraid the design might not be what I want (compared to what I can do with HTML and CSS).

My question is: Is it possible to build use HTML, CSS (bootstrap) and JS for the UI design, and still have it as a Java Application? In other words, can I build the interface with HTML and CSS, add some JavaScript events, and still deploy the app as a desktop app?

And PS, if you can suggest any other language that will be suitable for the purpose (database connection with no internet; desktop application; JavaScript effects; beautiful design like Bootstrap tools), I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks

  • HTML, JS, and CSS are designed for web browsers, although they can work with other types of applications such as pdf documents. However, you say you want to build a desktop application. That often means something that runs on it's own, without a web browser. – Dan Bracuk Jan 02 '18 at 20:40

Use an MVC framework like Spring.

This is perfectly possible using Apache Wicket. There are more solutions out there, but this is what I'm working with.

There's also Wicket Bootstrap which additionally includes Bootstrap components.
