Answer 1

Is it possible to embed CEF/JCEF in java application?

Yes, you can do that! The steps are:

1. Download JCEF and extract it JCEF

2. Declare Environment Variable to point to ${EXTRACT_DIR}/bin/lib/win64

3. Install following files in local repository: ${EXTRACT_DIR}/bin/{gluegen-rt.jar, gluegen-rt-natives-windows-amd64.jar, jogl-all.jar, jogl-all-natives-windows-amd64.jar, jcef.jar}.

For example: mvn install:install-file -Dfile=gluegen-rt.jar -DgroupId=org.jcef -DartifactId=gluegen -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

4. Create a maven project and declare installed artifacts in pom.xml

5. Copy sample: ${EXTRACT_DIR}/bin/tests/simple/MainFrame.java to your project and try it

Take note that those steps are for Maven Project and JVM 64bit
