The JavaFX web view is hard to debug and it is missing support or several common APIs. I blogged about this a while back http://sjhannah.com/blog/2015/06/29/javafx-webview-html5-api-support/
The latest JDK may have updated to a newer version of WebKit, but I doubt they've resolved all of the issues. I would avoid it for wrapping a general purpose GWT app. The best results I've ever had with wrapping web apps as a desktop app is Electron (http://electron.atom.io/). It uses Chromium, and it is as easy to debug as actually running it in Chrome. If your application is not just static HTML, but has a server-side component, then you can bundle it with Jetty to create a standalone web app bundle. If you're okay with a "plex media server" style app (i.e. where you start the app on the command line, which starts a server on some special port - and then opens a browser to that port), then you should check out jdeploy, as it will allow you to easily to deploy a .war file as a standalone command-line application using an embedded Jetty. https://github.com/shannah/jdeploy https://github.com/shannah/jdeploy/wiki/Deploying-Web-Apps-with-JDeploy Disclaimer: I created jDeploy On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 6:51 AM, Subhrajyoti Moitra <[email protected]> wrote: > yes, using embedded browser in a javafx/swing application as a medium of > deployment. > U can also mix and match JavaFX and JS app/widgets running in the > embedded browser control and vice-versa. > > For .net based standalone app u can see below link. > https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp > Again, communication between the native app and app running in embedded > browser is very much possible. > > > HTH. > > > On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 8:01 PM, David <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Is it possible to develop a standalone application using GWT?
