Could not find JWebPane in jdk 7

Question

I wanted to use the Java browser component, which is supposed to be in jdk 7 (javax.net package) by the JWebPane class, but could not find it.

Answer 1

JWebPane was supposed to be included in Java 7, but it ended up as javafx.scene.web.WebView in JavaFX 2.0. Since 1.7_06 JavaFX 2.0 is part of jre-release, but when using eclipse you must explicitly include jar in the build path since eclipse does not include it in the runtime library.
