Dislplaying HTML/CSS in Java GUI

Question

This is the html I would like to display: http://boba.dyndns-server.com/Degrees/Art_History_Track_BA.html

I would also like to display this google calendar as well. (but this link is not a priority)

I have looked into the DJProject and it appears to require win32 computer, however I would like the program to work on mac and windows. If I am wrong about DJProject, could you please explain me how to implement their Simple Example using a Eclipse on a Mac.

My goal is to embed the link into a JScrollPanel, with as little overhead as possible. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

**JEditor Pane can display html, but not html with css in the htmls.

***If you know of away to remove css, I would like to consider that as well

** The htmls I want to display were generated by a pdf converter.

@Seteven Feldman - I'm goign to remove the [applet] tag then ;) — Richard JP Le Guen, Mar 17 '11 at 16:31

You can use SWT Browser directly :


import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display);
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
        Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
        browser.setUrl("http://printf.ru/");
        shell.open();
        while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
            if (!display.readAndDispatch())
                display.sleep();
        }
        display.dispose();
    }
}

I don't know about CSS, but HTML can be used in Java Swing components: see The Java Tutorials.

The Google Calendar would probably require the use of the Google Calendar Client Library.

Swing does support some CSS, but not the CSS in the html pages. Google Calendar Client Library is on how to interact with a calendar, not display it. – Steven Feldman Mar 17 '11 at 16:29

You could embed a JWebPane into your application.

See this post for more information on this approach.

Is there a way to embed a browser in Java?
