Is it possible to render webpages with WebKit through a Java application?

P.S. I want it to be compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac Os X.

Jambi appears to be dead.

Andrew Scott Evans Over a year ago

JCEF tracks the most current webkit and I assume JavaFX is fairly up to date. Qt Webkit is 3 years old now and QtJambi may as well be dead as it is rarely developed (though the tiny group working on it is active and willing they are still on Qt 4.8). With recent updates to SSL, more javascript, and a variety of other changes for security,bugs;etc., I would not expect these tools to work reliably much longer. For chromium there is also Selenium but it leaks memory like none other and has a hard time closing when multiple instances are running.

JavaFX WebView is based on WebKit, but as Andrew said it hasn't been updated for years. As alternative solution I recommend that you take a look at JxBrowser library — teamdev.com/jxbrowser. It's based on Chromium engine and it's updated regularly. JCEF by the way is based on Chromium engine as well.

In JavaFX is included in Java 7. This contains WebView which is based on WebKit.

JavaFx is one of the worst UI Tool Kits , I have worked with especially Webview/WebEngine. It made my application crash frequently. I wouldn't advise anyone doing any serious work to adopt javafx webview.

How do I use JavaFX in LWJGL window? Separate WebKit is not the same thing as GUI framework. This doesn't answer the question.

Well look at the other links I provided.

Xplane Over a year ago

thanks but it seems that there is not gonna be a free version that I could use for Java. I'll have to use a different language for this part instead.

MJB Over a year ago

Yes, not too surprising. Webkit is all native code after all. And has evolved rapidly. The combination doesn't make for a very stable JNI wrapper

BTW you might want to avoid reposting substantially the same question
