I need to open a web page in swing application. Once it is opened I am required to take information for every click on every link because I want to do web harvesting on the respective and corresponding further pages.
I tried to google it but, all I got is JXbroswer api which is the paid one. If I could get some other suggestions that would be great. Thanks in advance. Looking forward for response.
JEditorPane can be used to display web pages and with appropriate listener (HyperlinkListener) component get's notified each time user clicks on a link so you can further process it.
The quieter you are, the more you are able to hear.

First of all thanks for the reply.
But JEditorPane does not provide support for Rich internet applications. It does not provide support for html5 and now a days most of the websites are moving to html5. If you have some other option that would have been helpful.
Well, you said nothing in your original post about HTML5, and I quote:

As for further requirement about HTML5, you will probably have to take a look around for a custom component that will provide functionalities you need, or develop one yourself. Or, perhaps some Ranchers can point you in the right direction.

Yep, JEditorPane supports HTML 3.2 and nothing else, nor is it likely that it ever will. For something more advanced (although just as dormant) check out http://lobobrowser.org/
For programmatic access to web pages -such as scraping- a much better (and up-to-date) solution is the HtmlUnit library.
