In some contexts it might be easier to use my project https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver which requires Java/JavaFX (no external browser bin). Chrome Headless is a godsend though.

I maintain a web driver too (Selenium-based) and have been wondering about how it would compare to Selenium ChromeDriver headless. Mine is built in Java and uses Java's embedded WebKit. If anyone has feedback this is where I'm discussing it, https://github.com/MachinePublishers/jBrowserDriver/issues/2...

You can also do it with my project which is based only on Java, https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver

You can use my project https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver which can be both headless or (what's the opposite of headless?) have a full GUI. It runs on Java using Java's built-in browser and will take a second to warm up when an instance is created, but after doing so, you can reuse the existing browser since I added a reset() API. Performance is comparable to desktop browsers (slightly slower), and for every action it blocks until AJAX page loads finish.

Being that you're already on a JVM, you might like my project https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver

SEEKING WORK - Remote from USA Will integrate my (Apache v2.0 licensed) programmable web browser into your crawlers, scrapers, test frameworks, etc: https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver

SEEKING WORK - remote only Offering consulting to integrate my WebKit-based and highly scalable web driver into your project. It's programmable, headless, renders Javascript, and has comparable features to desktop browsers. See https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver ... It can render about a million complete webpages, Javascript and all (including sub-resources) for ~ $70 in AWS computing time. I offer clients guaranteed flat rates on projects instead of hourly.

Also, if you want a headless browser that uses solely a JRE, my project is https://github.com/machinepublishers/jbrowserdriver

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in USA) - dan@machinepublishers.com Available for work involving browser automation, Javascript, Java, Selenium, WebKit, web scraping/crawling, and tooling for testing/QA. Also available for development, support, and consultation related to my open source project, a pure Java WebDriver (Selenium compatible) -- https://github.com/MachinePublishers/jBrowserDriver

I had been using Firefox driver in Xvfb but wasn't happy with the performance/stability. So I built a Selenium driver out of Java only (using JavaFX's embedded WebKit) and used a headless JRE windowing toolkit (Monocle). My project is still a pre-release but the headless capability, Java-only system requirement, and its ajax handling might make it useful to some people currently: https://github.com/MachinePublishers/jBrowserDriver

It's basically the GNU Classpath wording, but I had to modify it slightly to achieve my goals [1]. Part of the wording about the objective (the first sentence) was shamelessly borrowed from the Mattermost project [2]. GNU Classpath is more permissive in that its exception applies to modified versions too [3]. [1] https://github.com/MachinePublishers/jBrowserDriver/blob/mas...

SEEKING WORK Remote only. I wrote a programmable web browser that is 100% pure Java. It might be useful for a variety of projects. I'd be willing to take clients who want enhancements added to the project: https://github.com/MachinePublishers/jBrowserDriver The license is such that it's open source, and proprietary use is allowed as long as it's the original unmodified version.
