JXMapViewer is an open source Swing component, a special JPanel that presents a slippy map in a java app. Java GUI developers can add it to any Swing application, the way you would with any other JPanel. It loads in raster tiles and presents them.

JXMapKit is preconfigured with OpenStreetMap tile server as an option so you can switch to use it by setting the defaultProvider property in the Property Sheet.
