You can create a CEF application in different languages (c/c++ or C#, python or ...), what is your preference about that?

In case of C# you might want to try https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp, I used this one in the past and it worked really great!

There are also sample projects in the CEF svn found here: CefClient and CefSimple

Together with this tutorial here: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/Tutorial

In the past I used CefSharp and one time I changed the CefClient example (removed everything I didn't need) and rebuild it. Using CefSharp was a lot simpler than the CefClient.

Another possibility might be https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit but that isn't CEF so a bit offtopic

edit: For java there seem to be two CEF Wrappers

See an example application here (code): javacef
