how to display a map in a java swing application?

I am developing an application where I have to display a map of a particular area/region (using latitude and longitude) in a JPanel, I need no additional functionality (like placing markers,etc..) from the map except for zooming in/out. I have no idea on how this can be achieved, some links explaining this would be of great help.

Take a look to JxMaps library. Using this library you can easily embed map viewer to any Swing container.

After embedding of MapView to your application, library gives you access to Map object, that has methods for both map positioning and zooming.

Map map = viewer.getMap();
map.setCenter(new LatLng(map, 10, 20);
map.setZoom(8);
