import org.eclipse.swt.browser.MozillaBrowser;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.ProgressEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.ProgressListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.mozilla.xpcom.nsIDOMDocument;

public class Test {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                Display display = new Display();
                Shell shell = new Shell(display);

                final MozillaBrowser browser = new MozillaBrowser(shell,WT.BORDER);
                browser.setUrl("https://www.google.com");
                browser.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
                        public void changed(ProgressEvent event) {
                        }

                        public void completed(ProgressEvent event) {
                            nsIDOMDocument doc = browser.getDocument();
                                System.out.println(doc);
                        }
                });

                while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
                        if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
                                display.sleep();
                        }
                }
        }
