How to embed an XUL Application in SWT Browser? - java

I want to host my XUL application inside another Java application that uses SWT.
I know that it is possible to embed the browser windows using SWT.MIZILLA as a flag.
But how do I host my XUL application inside that browser window?

You should be able to load your XUL file using Browser.setUrl() method. If you are on Linux, no need to specify SWT.MOZILLA (as embedded Firefox is also capable of loading XUL). Be careful when using SWT 3.7 (its M1 is just released), as it uses WebKitGtk+ as the default browser on Linux.

Java browser that support applet

Is there's any java embedded web browser(free) that support applet running ?
I don't mind if its use some native libraries.
Currently ,I already tried javafx web view and DJnativeswing and they dont detect java(doesn't support applet).
Most of the modern browsers (Chrome v42+, Firefox 64 for Windows, Microsoft Edge, etc) have dropped support for NPAPI which is required for applets to run. Oracle is recommending that developers switch over to Java Web Start instead of using applet as the technology is fading. If you still need to use applets (eg. for school programming projects) you may need to uninstall your current browser(s) and install a legacy browser that still includes NPAPI.
Browser do not support applets nativly. That's because applets need a java runtime environment and an browser adapter to display the content in the browser. But if you install a jre it always will install an plugin into you browser(s) if not already present.

How are things embedded inside of a browser?

Adobe embedded flash and Oracle embedded Java. How does one go about embedding external programs inside a browser. I'm on Linux BTW.
You write something called a browser plug-in, which is done via the NPAPI, and then you get users to install it (or you get system makers to pre-install it).

Java integrated or embedded browser

I need a integrated or embedded java browser. I used WebEngine of javafx which support basic css as well html & java script but could not able to run flash file. Any way to do so.
Or any other Project u know which could fulfill my requirement.
You can also look at JxBrowser Java library that allows embedding Chromium-based web browser control into Java AWT/Swing application.
It supports both Java Swing and JavaFX.
BTW: the browser control is totally lightweight. All rendering happens in a separate native process by native Chromium engine. The web page looks like it's displayed in Google Chrome.
Check those (although they are not JavaFX but I suppose that they can be used):
http://lobobrowser.org/java-browser.jsp - pure Java
http://www.javadesktop.org/articles/jdic/index.html - better imho, but no longer maintained

WebKit browser in Java app on multiple platforms

I'm trying to embed a WebKit browser in my Java app. I insist on WebKit, because I don't want to test my HTML5/CSS/Javascript with every browser that, for instance, the Browser widget in the Eclipse SWT library supports.
Is there a way to do this on Mac, Windows and Linux, and thus make sure that my web pages are rendered inside my Java app uniformly?
Since SWT 3.7 M5, the Browser widget can use WebKit on all platforms if created with the SWT.WEBKIT flag. Platform-specific conditions may apply: see http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howusewebkit.
JXBrowser is one option. It's including Safari.
WebKit 4 SWT is close to what you need but only work on Windows for now.

Possible to launch JWS applet within browser instead of standalone?

Is it possible to embed an applet in HTML so that it will be displayed within the browser window yet launched through Java Web Start via a JNLP file instead of using the browser's Java plugin? If so, how is this done?
I've only been able to launch my applet in a standalone window, but disliking the user experience pop-ups create, I'd prefer that it be embedded in the browser window.
I'd like to use JWS instead of the plugin because I need to control my applet's maximum heap size, which I don't believe is possible with the browser plugin, at least not on Mac OS 10.5.
In-browser applets support JNLP deployment since 1.5 (or so). There's an example on how to do it here: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html
You're still using the Java plugin then, of course. It may or may not work to set the heap size.
