HTML in java JFrame?

Question

I have searched it on the net , but only solution I found out is JEditorPane , with the suggestion to not to use it , as it is very weak. Is there not any other alternative, other than JEditorPane ?

With saying how HTML support in `JEditorPane` fails to meet your requirements, this question is not constructive. — trashgod, Apr 06 '13 at 09:44
Check out JavaFX: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/webview/jfxpub-webview.htm — Guillaume Polet, Apr 06 '13 at 09:47
@trashgod: the problems with JEditorPAne are really well known, beginning with it not using style sheets. — Alexis Dufrenoy, Apr 06 '13 at 10:02
@Traroth While I agree with you, I think Trashgod's point is that not explaining what the missing requirements are makes it impossible to answer the question with out significant guess work — MadProgrammer, Apr 06 '13 at 10:15
@Traroth: I can't disagree, but the question says _nothing_ about what would constitute a better alternative for some particular use case. Edit: more [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/12680496/230513). — trashgod, Apr 06 '13 at 10:16

Support for HTML in JEditorPane is limited. I would say use JWebPane, but somehow the project seems to be at a stop. Try Flying Saucer if you need portability:

or if native code is ok, you can try the DJ Project:

Needless to say, nowadays using JavaFX's javafx.scene.web.WebView (which is actually the achieved version of JWebPane) would be the best solution. Flying Saucer and DJ Project seem both to be obsolete. – Alexis Dufrenoy Sep 06 '16 at 08:31
