How to migrate from JxBrowser

If you want to migrate from JxBrowser to Equo Chromium, in this page you will find guidelines and steps to successfully complete your migration.

Prerequisites

  • Java 11 or greater.

Steps to migrate

  • Request a trial on our website and you will receive a mail with a binary needed for this process.

  • Add the latest Equo Chromium Jx version and the latest Equo Chromium version in your project properties:

    • If you are a Maven user, add inside your pom.xml:

      <properties>
	<chromium.version>[CHROMIUM VERSION]</chromium.version>
	<chromium.jx.version>[CHROMIUM JX VERSION]</chromium.jx.version>
</properties>

    • If you are a Gradle user, your build.gradle.kts should have:

      val chromiumVersion = "[CHROMIUM VERSION]"
val chromiumJxVersion = "[CHROMIUM JX VERSION]"
If you are a JavaFX user, contact us.
If you requested a trial, you need both the same Equo Chromium Jx version and the version in the trial. You can check the most recent versions on: Equo Chromium Jx release notes section.

  • Add the repository with the binary received from the email, you can find it opening the repository and checking in the dependencies section:

    • For Maven in your pom.xml:

      <repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>Equo-Chromium</id>
        <url>[REPOSITORY]</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

    • For Gradle, add the repository in your build.gradle.kts:

      repositories {
    maven(url = "[REPOSITORY]")
}

  • Next you need the following dependencies with the latest Equo Chromium Jx versions and OS:

    • For Maven in your pom.xml:

      <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.equo</groupId>
        <artifactId>com.equo.chromium.jx</artifactId>
        <version>${chromium.jx.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.equo</groupId>
        <artifactId>com.equo.chromium.cef.[PLATFORM].x86_64</artifactId>
        <version>${chromium.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

    • For Gradle, add in your build.gradle.kts:

      dependencies {
    implementation("com.equo:com.equo.chromium.cef.[PLATFORM].x86_64:${chromiumVersion}")
    implementation("com.equo:com.equo.chromium.jx:${chromiumJxVersion}")
}
The variable [PLATFORM] must have the one of the following: win32.win32, gtk.linux or cocoa.macosx.

You can find in this repo a complete working example for Maven or Gradle Swing/SWT.
