how to create embedded browser in Netbeans?

The user needs to browse sites through the Java program (not netbeans IDE), it should behave exactly like FireFox browser or IE, any suggestions ? I need to be abl开发者_开发知识库e to access the DOM so I can manipulate DOM elements.

Also, is there something equivalent to Perl's CPAN but for Java ?

ugh, i've done something like this a while back in ... c++ i think. that must have been in 2002 or something like that. i used a component from Borland's C++ Builder back then (or did i use delphi?) anyways, i did a quick google search and found a rather antique post from '99; if nothing else, it's perhaps a good place to start.
