Welcome to our community. :)

You really wants to build a Java browser or a kind of browser display window? Because it's not much easy pal.

Java Browser like what?

To browse Java files? classes?

Or like A Java Navigator/Explorer?(like windows explorer)

Or a Java Web Browser?

and what is UF by the way?

Yep, what he meant is not clear. Working on a Java browser. Interesting. So in near future we have another browser. ;)

Please explain your question much clearly.

I meant like a java web browser :D that could surf the internet? or maybe theres a way to load like idk internet expolrer through java and only show the browser part? and then design the rest of GUI by yourself? Idk.... :confused:

UF stands for (University of Florida)

Still I'm confusing. Do you want to make a browser like Java GUI?

@OP.
You can google it on the net....

Here is an example,
A very simple Java Web Browser...

Eranga,
Maybe he wants first to create a basic gui just to test the code. Implement the purpose( Browsing ) maybe using JEditorPane or JTextPane, and redesign the GUI to finalize....
(Im not sure) :)

Ok, we'll see what he wants to do.

See The Lobo Project: Home of Lobo (Java Web Browser) and Cobra (HTML Rendering Engine)

That's a big project....

I hope he may understand it well.

Ya, seems to me there are all informations are available. But I don't know how far practicable to him it is. :)

sukatio my compiler gets an error on your code at "LinkFollower"

Jesdiesciple you gave me a link to a jarred java web browser... i acctually want code... but ill try google

The source is also available; see Lobo Project Java Source Code

EDIT: Also see SourceForge.net: Open Discussion

hmm? the first link doesnt work :confused:

What you mean? You can't see the page what he linked there? I don't think so. It's work for me well.

u just used JEditorPane if you want to display web page. if it is in wml or xhtml. u need to move the wml part and set the mime type to text/html
it should display the web page.

you might try below.


JEditorPane editorPane;
String url = your web address
java.net.URL helpURL = new java.net.URL(url);
editorPane.setPage(helpURL);

Working on the JEditorPane for this is not a good idea. Just set a URL, which is full of more graphics. Your window freeze in few seconds. JEditorPane still not that much advanced still.

final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Browser");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
frame.setLocation((dim.width - 400) / 2, (dim.height - 300) / 2);
// frame.setResizable(false);
final WebBrowser webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
try {
webBrowser.setURL(new URL("some url"));
panel.add(webBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

What's this mean. What's your question?

And also please use code tags when you post any code here. It's help to read much clearly.
