If I were you I would have tried JWebEngine and then Ekit

Here are more talks and suggestions.

JWebEngine could be a solution but I didn't understand if it is free or it has limitations?

Ekit is great but It has a bad thing: when click to view source I see the HTML in a bad format...it's something with encoding or something that I can not handle... or maybe it is something with the DefaultStyledDocument because when I have set to different StyledDocument I have seen the source in one line only(which is still bad)
Well maybe after all you want to start system browser from your java - say using Desktop class
I guess all those java stuff will have issues with some of the pages.
Of course if you need HTML editing - then it is more difficult.
No way...I need an editor...The default browser is not an editor
Well, you may look at Metphase editor:

Though frankly I'm rather pessimistic.
Unless you are dealing with some limited sorts of HTML pages, I  believe your chances
of finding some free HTML editor which would not cause problems with some
case or the other are rather slim - even  versatile enough browser (let alone editor)
is really a big deal to write.
metaphaseeditor has the same problem with Ekit (they seemed to me to be related)
