You can bring in the power of HTML,CSS,JavaScript into your Swing app using JFXPanel to embed JavaFX WebView. Have a look at the SimpleSwingBrowser demo in this link:https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/interoperability-tutorial/swing-fx-interoperability.htm

WebView allows to call JavaScript functions from Java and vice versa. It is also a nice way to enhance your legacy Java app with web technologies.
