How do you open web pages in Java?

Question

Is there a simple way to open a web page within a GUI\'s JPanel?

If not, how do you open a web page with the computer\'s default web browser?

I am hoping for so

haven't tried it at all, but the cobra HTML parser and viewer from the lobo browser, a browser writen in pure java, may be what you're after. They provide sample code to set up an online html viewer:

import javax.swing.*;
import org.lobobrowser.html.gui.*;
import org.lobobrowser.html.test.*;

public class BareMinimumTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    JFrame window = new JFrame();
    HtmlPanel panel = new HtmlPanel();
    window.getContentPane().add(panel);
    window.setSize(600, 400);
    window.setVisible(true);
    new SimpleHtmlRendererContext(panel, new SimpleUserAgentContext())
    .navigate("http://lobobrowser.org/browser/home.jsp");
  }
}
