Is there a way to embed a browser in Java? more specifically, is there a library that can emulate a browser?
Since JavaFX 2.0 you can use now webview
I believe JWebPane is going to be the official way to embed a browser into a java app. Its based on the open sourced engine - WebKit, which is used in Apples Safari and Googles Chrome browsers.See this blog for details.

You could use SWT for your GUI. Its Browser control allows you to embed IE, Mozilla or Safari (depending on the platform you're running in) with little pain.
By far the most robust embeddable browser I am familiar with is the one in SWT.
In fact, it is so flexible that the JavaDoc hover you can see in Eclipse is actually a browser, and the JavaDoc view actually supports things like animation!
The only risk with using SWT is that there are different versions of the SWT library for different platforms. I'm not sure if there is a singl jar you could include to cover everyone.
Take a look at
https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/
JxBrowser has not been mentionned yet. It embed either Mozilla Firefox (Gecko), Apple Safari (WebKit) or Internet Explorer. Programmer's Guide
You could also try the JWebBrowser from DJ Native Swing: http://djproject.sourceforge.net/ns
I have successfully opened a browser from Java using SWT. You can find code examples of how to use SWT to open a Browser window. It's very easy to do.
You can embed a browser in a Swing/AWT GUI using the JDIC API. I don't see any mention of OS X, so it may not be of use to you.
You can try Webrenderer or Ice Browser
If you need a pure Java solution then you can try JWebEngine. It render HTML 4 very good. You can use it in an applet, Java webstart and on any platform. The using is very simple.
You could try a JEditorPane, it doesn't interpret advanced HTML, nor Javascript, nor advanced CSS, but you can write that part yourself, called the EditorKit. That is the class/object that is consulted by the JEditorPane or how it has to display its content.
I know its possible, because I tried and failed (:P), but it could be outdated or deprecated by now, I don't know.
Maybe Chromium Embedded Framework is an option for you. Specific to Java there is
javacef for SWT: https://github.com/wjywbs/javacef
java-cef for AWT: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/java-cef
If you look at The Minecraft launcher (the old one), look through LoginForm or LauncherFrame, you may be able to find out that method. There is a tutorial by kippykip on youtube on how to decompile and edit it: here

What is the best way to embed a D3js visualization within a Java application?
Initial thoughts:
JWebPane (Vaporware)
Lobo browser (Still at HTML 4 and CSS 2)
DJ Native Swing Project (Inactive since 2011)
Other ideas?
There have been related SO questions (such as this), I'm looking for solutions specific to supporting D3js.
I am open to ideas that may not include a full blown web-browser integration, just the minimal set required for D3 visualization. I'm thinking this would include a Javascript interpreter, DOM manipulation, and an HTML/CSS layout engine such as WebKit.
I have used JavaFX and webengine for this. But I am really thinkig about porting d3 to Java ...
You could use SWT's browser component via SWT/AWT bridge
javafx-d3 - Provides a Java API to use the JavaScript library d3.js with the JavaFx WebView.
So far this seems to be the best option.
I just stumbled upon this d3js without testing it.
the best way i have seen till now that importing jxBrowser library and call your html...or what ever extension was to java application. Later, you play with the Jfram change the size you want and etc..
I'm trying to make PDF forms (aka AcroForms) editable in Java.
So far i got the GUI editing and printing working using Bruno Lowagie's iText and Sun's pdf-renderer.
But now i'm close to scrapping it all, because after switching from try & error to reading the PDF specification, i realized that it's all worthless unless i can make the multitude of possible JavaScript actions work as well. I don't think iText can do that.
So in short: are there any Java libraries that do proper form handling including actions?
Or maybe even a Java GUI component to edit form data?
Does Suns PDFRenderer support Javascript? ARAIK, only JPedal and BigFaceless offer Javascript support.
You might take a look at Mozilla Rhino: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/
I haven't used it, but it looks promising, if you already have the GUI in Java.

What libraries/methods do you know of that can do some basic HTML representation in Swing? Can you comment on your experience?
A good pure Java solution is JWebEngine. It render HTML 4 very good.
Many of the Swing controls (like JLabel) can render basic HTML content. JEditorPane can be used to display HTML pages. However, these controls are limited to HTML 3.2 support.
For a richer experience, I would use the JDesktop Integration Components.
JDIC provides Java applications with
access to functionalities and
facilities provided by the native
desktop. It consists of a collection
of Java packages and tools. JDIC
supports a variety of features such as
embedding the native browser,
launching the desktop applications,
creating tray icons on the desktop,
registering file type associations,
creating JNLP installer packages, etc.
I haven't tried this in a while, but a quick google search shows some possibilities:
Java Sketchbook: The HTML Renderer Shootout, Part 1
Cobra: Java HTML Renderer & Parser
Are you trying to do this in an applet, or an application? If it's an application (or signed applet) you could potentially instantiate IE or Firefox within your application. Webrenderer acts as a Swing wrapper for this.
Swing has a built-in compontent called BasicHTML. I've never used it, but I think it should be sufficient for the basic stuff.
This has historically been a major weak point for Java, IMO. There are numerous ways to display limited markup, but very few that offer full featured HTML capabilities. The previously mentioned JDIC component is one option, however it is considered a "heavyweight" component and therefore does not always integrate well with Swing applications.
I am hopeful, however, that the new Webkit based JWebPane project will provide more advanced capabilities without all of the issues that we've had to deal with in the past. And, of course, there are several commercial options as well (IceBrowser is pretty good as an example).
I've just used SwingBox to display a quite simple HTML page, with good results.
The project includes a simple demo application which compares its BrowserPane component to JEditorPane, showing a far better result on complex pages (but still not comparable with a modern web browser).
The only issue I had is about unwanted scrollbars from the wrapping JScrollPane. The demo application seems to have the same problem. I can't tell where the issue originates. I'm using version 1.0.
Here a code fragment to show how simple is to use the component:
BrowserPane browserPane = new BrowserPane();
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(browserPane);
someContainer.add(scrollPane);
browserPane.setText("<html><b>Some HTML here</b></html>");
// or...
browserPane.setPage(new URL("http://en.wikipedia.org"));
Came across Lobo java web browser the other day.
Lobo is being actively developed with the aim to fully support HTML 4, Javascript and CSS2.
No experience with it though, but thought it may fit the bill for you.
