Including a full-blown browser in a Swing app can be a big deal. Just showing very simple HTML is easy with a JEditorPane. You'll have to write link following, buttons like forward, back, reload. Supporting javascript, css and all the goodies is much harder. Google for commercial solutions like Clue and Ice.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Acually i have to make a personalised web browser. so i have to include a web page in my application.In the mean time i have to trace out where the search link goes.Suppose am serching for a partiular book like "computer",from the next search onwards i have to get the link of that topics only.I want to avoid unnecessary topics .I think u people got my idea.My doubt occurs in this point "how can we trace out a link when we search for a particular topic within the application". I read from the books that it is possible by Xquery.but how can i use that?

You are saying you are creating a personalized browser. Is search one of the feature of your browser?
When you say browser, what is it going to be used for? Is it a web browser or just a user interface to your application.?
What does trace contain? I assume link as a url to a product in your application. How is your user going to use the trace? Does trace contain steps to reach the product?
