JxBrowser 7.11

In this update we introduce support of Amazon Corretto and AdoptOpenJDK 8 and 11, extend the JavaScript-Java Bridge API with the possibility to access Java fields from JavaScript, improve stability and fix the reported issues.

Amazon Corretto and AdoptOpenJDK

Use JxBrowser with Amazon Corretto and AdoptOpenJDK 8 and 11 on Windows, macOS, and Linux with all supported UI toolkits such as Swing, JavaFX, and SWT.

Read more about all supported JDKs and platforms.

Accessing Java fields from JavaScript

Access the public fields of a Java object injected into JavaScript through the JavaScript-Java Bridge API.

The JavaScript-Java Bridge API allows injecting Java objects into JavaScript and calling their public methods annotated with @JsAccessible. Now, you can access the public fields as well by making them accessible from JavaScript via the @JsAccessible annotation. For example:

public class JavaObject {
    @JsAccessible
    public String accessibleField;
}
...
JsObject window = frame.executeJavaScript("window");
window.putProperty("java", new JavaObject());

Now you can access and modify the value of the accessible field from JavaScript:

window.java.accessibleField = "My value";

Improvements

  • The BrowserView re-parenting is properly handled in SWT in the hardware accelerated rendering mode now.
  • The library detects when parent Composite of BrowserView has been shown/hidden in Eclipse RCP in the hardware accelerated rendering mode.

  • The Hunspell dictionaries on Windows and Linux will not be downloaded if spell checking is disabled.
