I would like to know if it is possible to run a program (ie Google Chrome, Skype etc) and have it output onto my JPanel/JFrame (so I can have Google Chrome inside my Application). And if so, how to do it.
it´s possible if the applications have an java api (an interface for you the developer) google chrome you could open without an api just as a normal browser and go to a targeted website for example :)
just do a google search i found on the first google site some java apis for skype for example
this one https://github.com/taksan/skype-java-api
and use them
i hope i could help you :)

I've been looking into this for a while and i just want to know if some experienced devs can list the options i have.
Basically what I need is to convert a Wordpress website with all it's plugins to mobile Android/IOS application. No additions, just as is.
I know there are lot of plugins that offer to do that. however I'd like to know my options
The app is basically the same as the website with the exact same functions, just accessed via the app icon.
Is there an easy way to "show" a website on an app? like passing the link, or using the app as some sort of browser maybe?
What are my options?
The best what you can do is you can use PWA which will wrap your Wordpress website and create App launch icon easily. You have existing plugins even in Wordpress, that's what I've found:

Another plus is that you can later add support for offline mode, notifications etc.
Ever since i started learning java i wanted to create a way to automate a few actions on a couple websites,
For example, topline is a website that replaces all your ads with its own ads and pays you a bit of money for it, i want to emulate the act of just surfing the web, then start emulating specific tasks like clicking certain buttons or playing flash games (Actually playing the game by using image recognition) and this has to be written in java as i want to run this on a raspberry pi.
any help is appreciated, is there a class that i can use?
any help is appreciated!
Selenium is a good browser automation tool. Refer http://seleniumhq.org/
You can get more info on Google. Let me know if you need help finding resources.
Check the class Robot, it will help you to emulate mouse interactions with the screen, but you have to implement the image recognition though
Although I can't point you to a JAVA solution, I would like to advocate two very interesting tools: PhantomJS and CasperJS. The latter depends on the first, and with them, browser navigation scripting and testing are a breeze.
They both work on Linux, MAC OS and Windows and are as multiplatform as Javascript can be. Naturally, it will work just fine in you Raspberry Pi.
Can I run Java applications (Java Web Start) on iPad?
Looks like this is not possible, but someone suggested using Cloud Browse (an application I couldn't' find) to run Java.
Any solutions?
UPDATE: Cloud Browser is an application that was available on the App Store but it was removed my Apple. Cloud Browse would process the web site externally and then stream the web site content to your iPad screen (something like video streaming).
No, you cannot run Java programs on the iPad (or any iOS device). Apple's license terms forbid running applications that can execute code downloaded from the Internet (which is what Java Web Start is all about).
No, as staffan said, Webstart will not work. However using CloudBrowse, an applet can work. It looks like the idea behind Cloud Browse is that the browser gets rendered on the server and video of the web page get streamed to your phone. This way, it appears to the user that applets or flash are running on the ipad.
I tried CloudBrowse on my IPAD as I've got a Java Applet that runs inside a brower and wanted it to work on my Ipad.
I found that it works pretty well. The Java Applet has a 3D animation, it's not as smooth as running on Windows/Mac through a normal web-browser, but it's pretty good.
I paid for full version, wasn't that expensive and to me, worth it. Opens up the power of using Applets but within Ipad!

I have read the Blackberry documentation and it is possible to push a notification from a webapp. I am planning to create a Blackberry application that compliments to our webapps. But I am still left in the middle whether to develop a webapp or native Blackberry app. I have also look at how a webapp runs on Blackberry browser and it looks smooth.
From your experience does the native app offer something that the webapp doesn't? Bonus question, is Facebook and Twitter app on Blackberry a native app or a webapp? If it is a webapp, is it possible to make a launcher for the application on Blackberry?
Thanks for your help.
Facebook and Twitter are on both types. The web apps are just a website formatted for a small screen so anything you do in say asp.net will show on a blackberry web app if you program it to. The native app just feels like part of my phone. You can save data on the phone so if your app is a relating to news or something that would be stored I can read it offline or slow connectivity (camping, rural areas, etc...). It can also interact with other feature that blackberry offers such as contacts, email, media player, etc...
If you would like to save anything for the user to view without pinging the internet a native app would be preferred.
It's possible to create a launcher but I haven't created one so I'm not sure of the details. I would assume it's just an app that opens the browser to your URL.
One more thing about a web app would be if your application stores users settings (twitter auth key, etc...) they would need to be stored on your server and not the users phone adding more expense and maintenance.
Good Luck.
Widget is not supported for device software less than 5 , you combine both of web and native development by using browser field ,but you need to consider that its Java Script support is poor
Let's not forget that the blackberry browser is really bad as well. I don't know any BB users who would want to use a web application because of that.
When it comes to native apps, you have some choice however and you are not restricted to java (depending on which OS version you want to target). In addition to the mentioned Java, you can use Widget (link for resources) that behaves like a native app, but can be accessed like a web app.
I was just at innoTech and they had a whole session on this topic. But instead of recaping it let me just post the funny video they showed at the end which sums it all up.

How can I play individual MIDI notes in a Web page?
I know of two ways to do it:
Write an ActiveX control. Then it only works on Windows. I used to write ActiveX controls a long time ago, but now nobody likes to install them.
Write a Java applet. This is OK if the user already has Java installed, but many users disable applets. This is the way I did it and you can see the result at newfweiler.com -- if it happens to work on your particular setup. You'll need at least Java 5, although I suppose I could rewrite it in Java 1.2 if I had to. The "Real Time Sequencer" and "Java Sound Synthesizer" don't work for me; I think you have to install wavetables or something to make them work.
Most users have Flash installed, but I looked in the Flash and Flex documentation and did not see anything equivalent to javax.sound.midi.
There are several ways to play a MIDI file in a Web page, and you can find "Javascript Pianos" that play a one-note MIDI file whenever you press a key. You can't play multiple notes at once or hold the key down for a long note.
What I'm trying to do is the equivalent of javax.sound.midi.Receiver.send(midiMsg, -1) using only what most people typically have installed on the machine.
Use Web Audio API to play sounds and .mid-files. See example of MIDI player at https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofont/examples/midiplayer.html
Use Web MIDI API (Chrome supports it) to listen MIDI keyboard. See example at https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofont/examples/midikey.html
Java is still probably going to be your best bet, even with the few users disabling it.
I use NoScript, and I can whitelist a site. I would say that most users would probably do the same if you provide compelling content.
Found the following (translated from Italian). I'd say Flash is the way to go. If you want to be ghetto you can just get 88 or so piano samples and play them against a timeline.

There is an example of online MIDI piano at https://jazz-soft.net/demo/VirtualPiano.html
It uses the Web Audio API and does not require any special software, however, if the Web MIDI is enabled, it has more functionality. Code included on the page.
