I've been into web development for a while, and JS has really proven worthy. But this time, I want to build a desktop app (with SQLITE). I want the app to be built in Java, but I'm afraid the design might not be what I want (compared to what I can do with HTML and CSS).

My question is: Is it possible to build use HTML, CSS (bootstrap) and JS for the UI design, and still have it as a Java Application? In other words, can I build the interface with HTML and CSS, add some JavaScript events, and still deploy the app as a desktop app?

And PS, if you can suggest any other language that will be suitable for the purpose (database connection with no internet; desktop application; JavaScript effects; beautiful design like Bootstrap tools), I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks

  • HTML, JS, and CSS are designed for web browsers, although they can work with other types of applications such as pdf documents. However, you say you want to build a desktop application. That often means something that runs on it's own, without a web browser. Commented Jan 2, 2018 at 20:40

This is perfectly possible using Apache Wicket. There are more solutions out there, but this is what I'm working with.

There's also Wicket Bootstrap which additionally includes Bootstrap components.
