        Engine engine = Engine.newInstance(HARDWARE_ACCELERATED);
        Browser browser = engine.newBrowser();

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
            // Creating Swing component for rendering web content
            // loaded in the given Browser instance.
            BrowserView view = BrowserView.newInstance(browser);

            // Creating and displaying Swing app frame.
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hello World");
            // Close Engine and close the app window.
            frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                @Override
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                    engine.close();

            JTextField addressBar = new JTextField("https://www.google.com");
            addressBar.addActionListener(e ->
                    browser.navigation().loadUrl(addressBar.getText()));
            frame.add(addressBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
            frame.add(view, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.setSize(800, 500);
            frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            frame.setVisible(true);

            browser.navigation().loadUrl(addressBar.getText());
        });
