Answer 1

You can use SWT for this, here's a simple example.

Answer 2

There are a number of alternatives:

• JEditorPane - included in the JRE, but only renders simple HTML
• JDIC - open source, embeds native browser
• ICEBrowser - commercial, renders the HTML in Java
• WebRenderer - commercial, embeds native browser in Java

And a few more that don't seem to be under active development.

Answer 3

If you want pure java solution, try Lomo.

Otherwise, you may use SWT / JRex or some other JNI-based product.

Answer 4

I got another one

The Lobo Project - Open Source

Answer 5

You can use mozswing. It works.

Answer 6

Flying Saucer is small and renders pretty well regular HTML pages

Answer 7

If you need a pure Java solution then you can use JWebEngine. Its the best pure Java solution currently available.
