Add WebView control on Swing JFrame

Question

I am working on Swing application mixed with JavaFX control.

I have created a JavaFX control (WebView) to browse HTML files. But I want to know, how can I add this web view control on the container of a Swing JFrame?

Answer 1

Given an already existing jFrame, the following code adds a new WebView and loads a URL:

// You should execute this part on the Event Dispatch Thread // because it modifies a Swing component  JFXPanel jfxPanel = new JFXPanel(); jFrame.add(jfxPanel);  // Creation of scene and future interactions with JFXPanel // should take place on the JavaFX Application Thread Platform.runLater(() -> {     WebView webView = new WebView();     jfxPanel.setScene(new Scene(webView));     webView.getEngine().load("http://www.stackoverflow.com/"); }); 

Answer 2

JFXPanel allows you to embed JavaFX within your Swing application.
