Java based Swing Browser should support JavaScript

Question

In my company, I am implementing a java based html browser. I found a lot of tools to generate complete browsers only in Swing which are looking like Mozilla. But I was not able to find a browser which supports JavaScript. The browser I will implement should execute JavaScript inside the HTML sides.

Do you know of a tool that supports this? Or do you know of a parser which pairs the javascript to something I can use inside the html browser?

I know that the eclipse plugins can handle javascript, but I can not use AWT in my project.

Thanks for your help.

You don't want to build this yourself. Fortunately, there are a number of open source javascript engines you might be able to adapt.

add the moment the html sides are shown by using C++ and a firefox plugin, but i should use the existing html sides which including javascript. I have no choice, i have to show html with javascript.

I'm not saying don't do it: I'm saying find someone else that's already done it and use that.

I'd look at Lobo. It sounds like just want you want. It has a HTML Renderer and parser, and some support for Javascript. If it's missing a feature of Javascript that you need, it seems like it would easier to contribute to Lobo, instead of reinventing the wheel.

Good God, why?

That said, this page at java.net discusses some options; you could search it more extensively.
