Note that with B4J you can invoke the chrome browser inside your program with:

B4X:

    Private fx As JFX
    fx.ShowExternalDocument(File.GetUri("myDir", "something.html"))

That may or may not be useful to you.

WebView is part of JavaFX. Make sure to use OpenJDK 19 (or newer).

JavaFX's WebView is very limited. There are projects like https://teamdev.com/jxbrowser/ and https://github.com/chromiumembedded/java-cef to embed chromium in Java.
