You can use JxMaps component, it wraps JavaScript layer and provides Java interface for interaction with Google Maps. It has MapBrowser swing component that can be easily inserted to any swing application.

Google Maps is a javascript-based api, so you could just embed a web view into your desktop app.

However, be aware that you will need to apply to Google for a license to do that. See the bottom of their licensing page at https://developers.google.com/maps/licensing

Thank you i worked that out, I am trying to use it on a project for my final year Software Engineering degree. Is there a way to use it for that purpose or would I have to purchase a License. IF not an alternative is Open Street Maps.
