A programatically controlled java web browser with GUI

Hello,

I am looking for a programmatically controlled browser such as WebKit for Java.

I need to be able to launch the browser in a very minimal window from my program and point it to a certain URL. I then need to be able to retrieve and URL that the user is redirected to.

Thanks,
Luke Cycon

(And if it helps, I am trying to authenticate with Facebook Connect, that is the end goal)

Whoops. Forgot to mention: Needs to be cross platform (Written in java or the likes). WebKit for SWT is windows only at this point

what about Qt Jambis -webkit component(note qt jambi is not an official qt binding for newer qt libraries and I'm not sure of the status of community support).

SWT Browser widget may help you. http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/browser/Browser.html (look at 'getUrl' method). It uses native platform rendering engine(Internet Explorer on Windows, Mozilla on Linux, Safari on the Mac). Check this tutorial http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-browser-widget/browser.html

Assuming this can handle links and some basic JavaScript, I think it will work. I will try tonight and let you all know how it goes
