Embed Google Chrome / V8 JavaScript Engine

980266Dec 17 2012 — edited Dec 18 2012
Hello!

I have some questions about embedding a browser with Java FX.

Is it possible to easily embed Google Chromium (or to use the V8 JavaScript engine) with Java FX / WebEngine?
Is there a roadmap which version of WebKit is included in which Java FX release?

Regards,
Dominik

So you would have (generally):

- a browser
- running a Java plugin
- running a JavaFX application
- running a browser embedded

I would like to have a standalone Java FX application which inside embeds a webbrowser, which is navigated to several web pages.

The applications accesses the DOM and fires events to the browser.


I'm searching for a technology where Google Chrome can easily be embedded.

(Like Eclipse SWT supports this for Safari/Webkit, IE and Firefox/XULRunner)

JavaFX has no such technology.
