JCEF (Java Chromium Embedded Framework) build guide for windows
I suggest watching in 1.25x speed.
!IMPORTANT
Over last few years the guys working on JCEF have finally decided to start providing recent versions of chromium, so check out this URL:
https://github.com/jcefmaven/jcefmave...
In this video I am following the guide from the java cef repository.
https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedde...
There is already j-cef build on maven, but it is outdated and there are some bugs coming from chromium itself so it is better to get the latest version.
For the build process I have used java 11, python, cmake and Visual Studio 2017 with build tools v141.
Also in the video I am showing how to dynamically add path variables withing the scope of the application using reflection.

I found that there weren't any videos showing how to build the library and there were a lot of questions on stackoverflow so I decided to record a video following the guides and hopefully help someone.
I will provide a link to a repo with the changes from the video soon, but you can message me and I will be glad to send you the code or the .jar file that we created in this video.

For those who are wondering if it is possible to run jcef on javafx - It is not currently possible since javafx does not provide an OpenGL Node to natively render the browser's frames.
There is a way to do it with SwingNode, but it is still really hard to achieve and it will be more than 100 times slower.
OpenJFX will have a way to render OpenGL content, but it is still in the works.
