Diploma in/of what?

(Java not)

...displaying of web sites properly.

Name a single user agent (web-browser) on this planet
that renders every web site just as it's author intended.

No UA so much as supports the entire W3C HTML
recommendations, and even when they do support an
element defined by the W3C, the rendering support
may well be 'buggy'.

You can embed anything with sufficient JNI glue. There was work at
sometime of a Netscape written in Java. Perhaps somewhere those
sources are still available.
