Equo Chromium Community Edition (V116)

The Equo Chromium Community Edition widget is a cross platform browser that allows users to create and render modern web-based UIs inside a Java application. It can be used in standalone Java applications, Windowless mode, Swing, SWT, or Eclipse RCP applications.

No more custom code for each platform, no more installations of specific libraries for Linux, no more problems in Windows with IE, no more platform-dependant and browser-specific issues at all. This is a truly cross platform browser that runs seamlessly in all operating systems and in embedded devices.

It is based on and uses the CEF Framework (https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef).

Usage

To use the Equo Chromium Community Edition widget add the following import sentence to your Java classes:

import com.equo.chromium.swt.Browser;

Below you can see an example of how to instantiate the browser in your application:

import com.equo.chromium.swt.Browser
public class SinglePagePart {
	public void createBrowser(Composite parent, String url) {
		Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
		browser.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));
		browser.setUrl(url);
	}
}
