Embed a YouTube video to JFrame?

Question

I've been doing a lot of research and trying to find a guide that can teach me how to correctly embed a YouTube video directly to my `JFrame`. I've read all of the Google Developers guides on the YouTube API but can't find just what I'm looking to do. I'm trying to embed a YouTube video straight to the `JFrame` using an init in my main method. For example: ``` /** * Main * @param args * @throws IOException */ public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { try { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new NimbusLookAndFeel()); } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ulafe) { Loader loader = new Loader(); loader.doFrame(); } Start Loader = new Start(); Loader.setVisible(true); } /** * Start * @throws IOException */ public Start() throws IOException { super("Ryan's Client Launcher version: '0.0.1'"); try { getContentPane().setBackground(Color.BLACK); setBackground(Color.BLACK); BufferedImage image39 = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("\jaggl\igs\39.png")); this.setIconImage(…

Here's the way I usualy use to embed YouTube videos into Swing application.

Instead of YouTube API a native browser component is embedded into JPanel using DJ Native Swing:

```
public class YouTubeViewer {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    NativeInterface.open();
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("YouTube Viewer");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.getContentPane().add(getBrowserPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.setSize(800, 600);
            frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
            frame.setVisible(true);
        }
    });
    NativeInterface.runEventPump();
    // don't forget to properly close native components
    Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            NativeInterface.close();
        }
    }));
}

public static JPanel getBrowserPanel() {
    JPanel webBrowserPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
    JWebBrowser webBrowser = new JWebBrowser();
    webBrowserPanel.add(webBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    webBrowser.setBarsVisible(false);
    webBrowser.navigate("https://www.youtube.com/v/b-Cr0EWwaTk?fs=1");
    return webBrowserPanel;
}
}
```

When running it looks like

The following libraries are necessary to launch an example above:

- DJNativeSwing.jar

- DJNativeSwing-SWT.jar

- swt-4.3-win32-win32-x86.jar (This one is platform dependent)

you can get all of them from a DJ Native Swing download package.
