Swing supports basic HTML (I think version 2.0 or so). So, you can try to use it. Also there are a several good pure java fully functional HTML browsers. The question is: why? Java applet runs into browser that knows to show HTML pages. You can easily cause applet to show HTML page into the native browser where it is running now.

There are several browser components, and you can see Best Java/Swing browser component? here on SO for some discussion on the "best".

A thought aside - since an applet is already in a web browser, it might be better to bridge to get the browser to display the website you want in, say, an <iframe>, rather than load a browser into a browser.
