JxBrowser in JavaFX

The easiest way to start working with JxBrowser in a JavaFX Maven project is to clone the GitHub repository where everything is already set up and ready to go.

Prerequisites

Getting the project

Clone the GitHub repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/TeamDev-IP/JxBrowser-QuickStart-Maven-JavaFX.git
git checkout v7
cd JxBrowser-QuickStart-Maven-JavaFX

Run the JavaFX application

Use the following command to build and run JavaFX application:

mvn clean compile exec:java -Djxbrowser.license.key=<your_license_key>

Once launched, you will see a JavaFX application with a BrowserView component displaying https://html5test.teamdev.com:

BrowserView in JavaFX app

Project overview

This section explains how the Maven project is configured to include JxBrowser and how a JxBrowser BrowserView component is embedded into a JavaFX scene to display content of the loaded web page.

Configuring the Maven project

The Maven project is configured to use the JxBrowser Maven repository to fetch the necessary JxBrowser dependencies, fetch the Chromium binaries for all platforms, and add the JavaFX UI toolkit integration.

Here’s how the pom.xml file is configured:

Embedding JxBrowser into JavaFX

In the JavaFX application source code you can see how to:

  1. Initialize an engine (Chromium) instance.
  2. Create a browser instance.
  3. Load the required web page.
  4. Embed a BrowserView component into a JavaFX scene to display the loaded web page.
Java
import static com.teamdev.jxbrowser.engine.RenderingMode.HARDWARE_ACCELERATED;

import com.teamdev.jxbrowser.browser.Browser;
import com.teamdev.jxbrowser.engine.Engine;
import com.teamdev.jxbrowser.view.javafx.BrowserView;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public final class App extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args); // Start the JavaFX application.
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        // Initialize Chromium.
        Engine engine = Engine.newInstance(HARDWARE_ACCELERATED);

        Browser browser = engine.newBrowser();

        // Load the required web page.
        browser.navigation().loadUrl("https://html5test.teamdev.com");

        // Create and embed JavaFX BrowserView component to display web content.
        BrowserView view = BrowserView.newInstance(browser);

        Scene scene = new Scene(new BorderPane(view), 1280, 800);
        primaryStage.setTitle("JxBrowser JavaFX");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();

        // Shutdown Chromium and release allocated resources.
        primaryStage.setOnCloseRequest(event -> engine.close());
    }
}
