Question

I need help with these, I am currently developing an a desktop aplication in java with netbeans IDE. One requirement of the app is that must have a map on it. I was serching and i find these: https://today.java.net/article/2007/10/24/building-maps-your-swing-application-jxmapviewer. But i try to downoad the JXMaptKit or the JXMapViewer but i dnd't found it.

Can anyone knows a workaround of that problem or an example that i can use?

Thanks!

PD. the app that i'm currently developing is for academic purposes.

You might want to have a look at a modern JavaFX 2 framework which uses Webkit-based WebEngine to render a webpage. Here is a Google Maps demo: http://fxexperience.com/2011/05/maps-in-javafx-2-0/?
