Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

Hi,
I found WebView2 APIs for Python, GO and Flutter WebView2 and they work great on my Windows 10.
It would further contribute to the spread of WebView2 and it would also be a great step forward
if there was a WebView2 for Java API e.g. for the Azul JDK!

The modern JDKs with the Panama project have a header file scanner for FFI API building and
might be possible to build the Java API wrapper for WebView2.

Are there any plans to provide this Java API wrapper for WebView2?

Thanks, Fried

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

I need this for Java Clients to integrate 3GL, PDF and Bing functions e.g. GPT-4.

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.

Suggested implementation

Java WebView2 would be a light Inplace-Browser app, other Chromium solutions have min 80MB zipped.

What does your app do? Is there a pending deadline for this request?

The app would be e.g. WebGL 3 Graph Data, 3D Mappings, GPT-4 and s.o.
