Reading HTML pages the user is visiting in his browser

[stefano.iaconelli]

Hello! I've got a question for you all: i'm doing a Java program with
a graphical interface and a button in it (START). If pressed, i want
my program to read the page contained in a browser (FF or IE, i don't
mind) already opened in that moment. I don't know if i can do
something like that...any suggestions/way to read that content?

The JDesktop Integration Components (JDIC) project may support earlier
versions:
