Several hours ago I have found a very interesting technology in area of Java's embedded browsers - Native Swing (includes Cross-platform Web Browser, Flash Player, HTML Editor, Multimedia Player and more).

It works excellent!

Is it true that this technology is based on the launching of current operational system's default browser within java application? (http://blog.macrominds.de/2010/03/embedded-gecko-browser-in-java-application-with-djnativeswing/)

Answer 1

Yes, when something is too perfect, it's almost allways has some drawback. Be it in java or any other system, when you get a full web browser, it's allways just an interface for the default web brower. Windows calls it OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) a technoclogy to insert objects from another application (like a web browser or an excel table) to your app.

If you want a REAL web browser I'm afraid you have to write your own.
