MRJ Plugin Build Instructions

(as of 7/30/99)


In 6 Easy Steps

  1. Download the latest MRJ SDK (MRJSDK 2.1 or later). Run the installer, which will create a folder at the root of your system volume, called "MRJ SDK 2.1." Copy the CIncludes and Libraries folders to the "MRJSDK" folder in mozilla/plugin/oji/MRJ.
  2. Open the project mozilla/plugin/oji/MRJ/plugin/MRJInABox.mcp. To build the plugin for 4.X browsers, build the "MRJInABox (4.X)" target. To build for 5.X, build the "MRJInABox" target.
  3. Build the project mozilla/js/macbuild/LiveConnectClasses.mcp, and make an alias to the file liveconnect.jar in mozilla/plugin/oji/MRJ/plugin.
  4. Build the project mozilla/plugin/oji/MRJ/testing/ConsoleApplet.mcp, and make an alias to the file ConsoleApplet.jar in mozilla/plugin/oji/MRJ/plugin.
  5. Finally, build the "MRJPlugin.jar" target in MRJInABox.mcp.
  6. To install the 5.X plugin, create a folder called "Netscape Plugins" in your "System/Extensions" folder, and drag both MRJInABox and MRJPlugin.jar into this folder. To install the 4.X plugin, drag both MRJPlugin and MRJPlugin.jar into your "Plug-ins" folder located inside your Netscape Communicator folder.
Well that's it. You should now have a working build of the MRJ plugin.
