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?

[Eranga]

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.

[Jessie Madman]

I meant like a java web browser 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....

UF stands for (University of Florida)

I meant like a java web browser that could surf the internet?

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

[sukatoa]

@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)

[Eranga]

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

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

[sukatoa]

That's a big project....

I hope he may understand it well.

[Eranga]

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

[Jessie Madman]

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

[Jessie Madman]

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

[Jesdisciple]

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

EDIT: Also see SourceForge.net: Open Discussion

hmm? the first link doesnt work

[Eranga]

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);

[Eranga]

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);

[Eranga]

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.
