Answer 3

WebRenderer is a commercial product that does this, and does it well. However, the last time I checked it was also pretty expensive (they wanted a $2 per-client fee for a large number of client, and a several $1000 support contract).

Answer 4

MozSwing it is free or JxBrowser or JExplorer ($500)

Answer 5

We use JDIC as well and it works for us in Windows; however, configuring it to work in *nix/OS X can be a pain, as it simply utilizes a platform-native browser (supports IE and Mozilla), while on Linux/Mac you may have neither - that's the problem.
