when user click on download button .exe should download and install on client pc.after
installation exe file should communicate with struts application.
Thanks in advance

First you want to study this so that you can download your Swing App: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/contents.html
Then you want to use HttpURLConnection to do GET and POST requests to your Struts application on the Server.
Your best bet is to just do the Swing piece and use HttpURLConnection to access a Servlet via a POST. You might want to look into the Command pattern to allow you to send different requests through one Servlet.
On another note: If you can live with the app living within a web page GWT is also a good use case for this, it also can integrate well with existing web pages and Struts.

I have created a Swing application in Netbeans that is basically a chat system (between multiple clients and server using socket programming).
Now I wanted to run this application on a webpage. Is this possible without changing any code?

No. It would have to be a JApplet to be embedded in a web page, and applets have been effectively killed off. See Java Plugin support deprecated and Moving to a Plugin-Free Web.
On the other hand, a desktop application (based on a JFrame) can be launched from a link on a web page using Java Web Start.
Edit
Scrap that advice regarding JWS, apparently it too is being deprecated as of Java 9.
I am developing Office 365 outlook add in for one of our product that is developed on Java and Vaadin 6 framework. Our Java application has a very complex interface. We are tying to create similar interface in outlook web addin.
Actually what we are trying to achieve is that, we want to use the same Java Vaadin UI inside the outlook web add-in. We do not want to create UI using javascript as the UI of our main Java application it too complex and it keeps changing in different scenarios.
As per documentation, iframe is not allowed inside the add in. So can any one suggest me a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance !
Follow the instruction to create add-in: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668191.aspx
Then put your iframe inside the add-in page, and it works fine.
We have distributed web application and front-end part of this application should be standalone desktop application and have integration with desktop apps such as telephony. I saw Electron framework and apps (for instance Slack) built on top of it and it is pretty good.
Does Java world have such a tool for embedding of jetty/tomcat and webkit browser to built native desktop apps?

Update:
See my test application on Java CEF: https://github.com/jreznot/cefc.
It uses Jetty/Swing/JavaCEF/Vaadin as HTML 5 Desktop Stack.
Final Update:
See my Electron+Java madness: https://github.com/jreznot/electron-java-app
It uses Electron with Java server side and Vaadin for application UI.
I recommend to use Electron instead of Java-Webkit bindings because it is mature framework and it has large community of JS developers.
I have search for similar solution in these last days and haven't found a totally fine solution.
These below is the more interesting partials solutions I have found.
Embed a browser (chromium) in java
I found two web site and is unclear what is the better solution:
jcef on github.com
build instructions
jcef on bitbucket.org
build instructions
I am not sure if these embedding solution will work well.
Please let me known if someone have found a quicker solution to embed web browser.
If you embed the browser into your code you have not trouble if the browser will update itself in the future and the user have your window container unless the standard browser window.
If you use an external browser you are sure on it well known behaviour but it can be change in the future and if this happens you have to update your application.
I choose to avoid embedded browser and reuse a standard external browser.
Embed http server
I like two solution I have found. All these solution can be use with minimal code change on your web application.
One thing is better you do is to make your web application a Maven application.
To do this in the past I have look at every library in web application class path and put in maven pom.xml dependency tree.
Spring-boot framework
Spring-boot is part of Spring framework.
It is a Spring projects: Spring-boot.
This project help a lot to start your web application.
Since you are developing a web application, you will add a spring-boot-
starter-web dependency in maven pom.xml
It standard embed server web is tomcat7/8 but you can change to Jetty8/9 or Undertow 1.1
Spark framework
This framework is a good alternative to Spring-boot. It is more concise and use Jetty as embedded web server.
I like Spring-boot because I am use to Spring configuration and use a mix of xml/annotation configuration and I like spring IoC. Using Spring-boot it easy to add other Spring constellation capability.
I hope that this can help you.
I think you can use wt. This is a system that takes a Qt based GUI application and rewrites the drawing mechanism from the usual desktop controls into html controls on a web page. IIRC its very transparent in that you only need to change a line or two of your original code. Qt is not java though, so I'm only pointing it out for completeness, its still pretty cool though.
But the simplest way would be to implement it using web technologies (eg HTML/JSP controls) so that it can be displayed as a web page easily, and then create a desktop app that uses the same html pages only wrapped as a 'executable'.
To create a desktop application you can either view the web page in an embedded browser in an application that exists solely to show the browser in a window, or you can use something like Microsoft's HTA system that presents web pages as desktop-style windows.

Is it possible to open an exe application (Not launch an application) inside a web browser. I want it to be like you have embeded the application in your browser. Is that posible in VB.NET or in JAVA? I have provided the launch application. but my boss wants it to be inside the web browser, not launched by the browser. Thanks in advance
The browser naturally prevents this capability because it would be an enormous security hole. The only way I could see you achieving this is to write some sort of browser plugin or browser extension which would allow you to achieve this but with all of the responsibilities and risks of writing this kind of code.
I want to display a silverlight web page inside my java desktop application.
Does anyone know of a plugin or browser control that I can use to do this?
Embed an appropriate browser window into the Java app and it can load the SL - there will not be any interaction / communication between the two without some hacky code. Multiple browsers support SL but you are better off using the an IE based one at present, the chrome support is not official as I remember.
How about an iFrame? In the nutshell... Alternatively you can make a request to .Net app from within your java server code using something like HttpClient and then serve markup that way - would be relatively easy thing to do (relatively since if there authentication involved things can get complicated fast. And if you want (willing) to get "sophisticated" and you are using portlet technology there is WSRP
For the desktop app I would go with HttpClient suggestion: get the content, parse it then do with it what you please unless that Silverlite app is also running as webservice then you have some additional options by utilizing components that can consume services
Eclipse's SWT provides out of the box web browser component based on IE and/or Mozilla engine. For swing application you can use one of ActiveX bridges, such as J-Integra or JDIC or EZ JCOM.
Use JDIC WebBrowser component
