Answer 1

There is currently no way getting the UI portion into a Java. You should consider just using barebone WebKit + V8 with many JNI calls. You could consider writing a JNA wrapper around those.

To make your JNA easier, you can wrap Chromium Embedded Framework

You mean by barebone just the portion of the browser that displays the web page? Cause that's all I want. – Tarahtaran

Java (Sun) was porting WebKit to Java Swing as JWebPane, but ever since Oracle bought Sun, we never heard any updates. And that was around 2+ years ago. If your experienced in JNA, this could be done, Chromium Web Pane is all about v8 + WebKit. CEF (the link I mentioned above) have done the abstractions for you and all you do i s hook it up to your JNA interface. – Electroencephalogram

I have very little Java experience, the most being some scripts written for a Runescape bot, RSBot. However, I think I may be able to figure out what I need with what you've given me. Thanks! – Tarahtaran

Answer 2

There's a Java Wrapper for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF).

Try javacef. This is open source project. This project can embed Chromium browser in Java SWT with multitab browser support, cookies manipulation, tab settings, printing, back, forward, refresh buttons and enhanced file download. This project is based on Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF).
