I want to display a silverlight web page inside my java desktop application.
Does anyone know of a plugin or browser control that I can use to do this?

How about an iFrame? In the nutshell... Alternatively you can make a request to .Net app from within your java server code using something like HttpClient and then serve markup that way - would be relatively easy thing to do (relatively since if there authentication involved things can get complicated fast. And if you want (willing) to get "sophisticated" and you are using portlet technology there is WSRP
For the desktop app I would go with HttpClient suggestion: get the content, parse it then do with it what you please unless that Silverlite app is also running as webservice then you have some additional options by utilizing components that can consume services

Then use HttpClient to get the content and do whatever you need with it

Embed an appropriate browser window into the Java app and it can load the SL - there will not be any interaction / communication between the two without some hacky code. Multiple browsers support SL but you are better off using the an IE based one at present, the chrome support is not official as I remember.

Eclipse's SWT provides out of the box web browser component based on IE and/or Mozilla engine. For swing application you can use one of ActiveX bridges, such as J-Integra or JDIC or EZ JCOM.
