Screenshot from a web page

Question

There were couple of other threads about this, but nobody offers a good solution. I was able to write a piece of code which kinda works, but there are 2 problems:
1. JEditorPane is not very good at rendering HTML
2. I don't know how to wait for the JEditorPane to finish loading the document, so I simply wait for 10 seconds.
Can anybody help?
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class ScreenShot extends JFrame {
     public ScreenShot(String url, File file) throws IOException {
          JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
          editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1000, 800));
          editorPane.setEditable(false);
          editorPane.setPage(url);
          getContentPane().add(editorPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          pack();
          try {
               Thread.sleep(10 * 1000);
          } catch (InterruptedException e) {
          BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(
               1000, 800, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
          Graphics2D graphics2D = image.createGraphics();
          editorPane.paint(graphics2D);
          Image scaledImage =
               image.getScaledInstance(250, 200, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
          BufferedImage scaledBufferedImage = new BufferedImage(
               scaledImage.getWidth(null), scaledImage.getHeight(null),
               BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
          Graphics2D scaledGraphics2D = scaledBufferedImage.createGraphics();
          scaledGraphics2D.drawImage(scaledImage, 0, 0, null);
          ImageIO.write(scaledBufferedImage, "jpg", file);
          dispose();
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          new ScreenShot("http://www.microsoft.com", new File("test.jpg"));

Answer 1

Forget about using JEditorPane to render webpages with rich DHTML contents. It simply can't. Period.
Several options to open a webpage in a real web browser:
1. Simplest (only for Windows)
String iePath = ...;
String pageUrl = ...;
Runtime.getRuntime.exec(iePath + " " + pageUrl);2. Some cross-platform browser detection libraries.
For example, com.Ostermiller.utils
3. More control over the opened webpages, but also more work to setup
Try JDIC or JRex
