GE in java application
ding
the answer before, and since time has passed, I am hoping there might
be better examples now.
Can anyone explain (or point to another source that explains) how to
embed google earth into a java (desktop) application?
Cheers,

Windows .NET desktop application.
The key to success is to work in an environment that can execute
Javascript code. In my environment that was through .Net's webBrowser
class.
Don't know if something like that's available in the Java environment.

Are you trying to embed it in a web page or a windows app ?.
I extracted the following code from :-
http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/mapsapi/ggeoxml.html
This is usefull site and it's quite simple to understand.

<script type="text/javascript">
google.load('maps', '2.160');
var map;
var geoXml;
function initialize() {
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4328, -122.077), 12);
map.addMapType(G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP);
var mapui = map.getDefaultUI();
mapui.maptypes.physical = false;
map.setUI(mapui);
map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload">
<div id="map" class="map" style="width:800px;height:600px"></div>
</body>
</html>
I think it should work although I haven't tested it.

I have a full featured java application which deals with GPS devices
and saves data to a database and exports to KML.
Would love to add a google earth module to the software though so a
user can see their data without launching a seperate copy of GE.

VB) call a function in the java with the KML as a parameter
Dim webObj(0) As Object
webObj(0) = KML.ToString
wbGEapi.Document.InvokeScript("finishLoadKml", webObj)
Then in the java
function finishLoadKml(kml) {
var kmlObject = ge.parseKml(kml)
// check if the KML was fetched properly
if (kmlObject) {
ge.getFeatures().appendChild(kmlObject);
obj_linestring_placemark = kmlObject;
obj_linestring_placemark.setVisibility('True');
} else {
alert('Bad KML, load failed');
}
}
