About a year ago I spent several months looking for exactly this, but came
up with nothing. All free java html renderers I found were terribly
outdated. There are several proprietary modules (eg ICEsoft) out there,
but I found even those to be rather disappointing in terms of features and
correct rendering.

Depending on what you need, a possible solution is to embed an existing
browser (Mozilla, IE, ...) into your java application.
