I am making an application in java which would be showing a HTML web page, getting the address of the webpage from a config file. The web page will be on the local disk. Now what i want is, when i start the Java program, the program will be showing the the webpage fullscreen on the computer without the mouse cursor. Now for that i would be first needing a HTML Engine or a web browser which can run inside the java application(events liek press of button etc etc will be passed to the web page from the java application). I cant find a way to show these web pages. I would be needing to show current tech web pages , such that it can process everything from jQuery, Js, Ajax, CSS3, HTML 5. So that beautiful web pages are able to be shown through the Java program.

I would be open to using native access if i can get a good thingShaurya Chaudhuri– Shaurya Chaudhuri2014-01-20 04:59:20 +00:00Commented Jan 20, 2014 at 4:59

JxBrowser is a good api for such purpose. It uses the chromium engine which offers an optimum speed just like native browsers. I have used it and it worked for me

Maybe you can give a try to jxbrowser
It promise to be a very good component.
From the home page:
Embed a lightweight Chromium-based Swing component into your Java application to display modern web pages built with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Flash, Silverlight etc.

This is possible if you're willing to use javaFx.
I'm not sure to which extent the latest html5 and css3 goodies are supported, but it's a decent browser enough : java fx WebView component

You can try using the SWT Browser control if your application runs on Windows. It wraps the currently installed Internet Explorer and gives you a very powerful access to its functionality including event listeners, etc.
