I don't think Android is the answer either. Most of the webkit port is very dependent on the Android OS and is not portable to other java frameworks.
I think Brent is right when he said your question is very broad. If you are looking to write a java app that runs on multiple systems, JWebPane is probably what you want. But keep in mind that it probably uses Java graphics which IIRC will be slower than drawing in native code. If you have a particular OS you are developing for, you need to port the network and graphics layers if they haven't been ported to that OS already. Then you need to use JNI to call into the native webkit apis from java and implement the various clients to call back up into java. For example, you could use WebCore/platform/graphics/win if your app runs on Windows and create a WebKit/java directory for the java interface. I would start by looking at the various ports already done. Start with WebCore/platform/* and WebKit/*. The Windows and Mac ports are pretty good starting points for figuring out what you need to implement for your system.
