我们可以使用 html 和 javascript 为独立应用程序创建 GUI 吗？

Question

I have a Java program which until now used to get the input from command line and then proceed accordingly.

Now, I want to have a basic GUI for this. It will need a few buttons which will trigger the events. I am experienced in HTML and JavaScript. Is it possible to write in HTML (or similar syntax) to generate the GUI?

I don't want to go in Swing and awt solution, because I would rather concentrate on the main program than on the GUI.

Here's another alternative. See also How to Use HTML in Swing Components .

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.io.File;
import javax.swing.AbstractAction;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

    }
}

I want to have a basic GUI for this. It will need a few buttons which will trigger the events.

This 'basic GUI' goes slightly beyond the spec. to add an output area.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class SimpleEventGUI {

    SimpleEventGUI() {
        JPanel gui = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        JToolBar toolBar = new JToolBar();
        for (int ii=1; ii<6; ii++) {
            toolBar.add(new JButton("Event " + ii));
            if (ii%2==0) {
                toolBar.addSeparator();
            }
        }
        gui.add(toolBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        gui.add( new JScrollPane(new JTextArea(5,30)), BorderLayout.CENTER );

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, gui);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                new SimpleEventGUI();
            }
        });
    }
}

You may consider Google Web Toolkit with Window Builder which allow you to build a rich inte.net interface using Java and interact with the existing logic.

If you want something quick, you can build a Swing GUI using Window Builder
