edburns%acm.org b1081b103c I now have the pluglet.dll XPCOM module loading. The reason it was not
loading: it depends on jvm.dll, which was not on my path.  I had to add
%JDKHOME%\jre\bin\client to my path and now it loaded. Thanks to shaver
and plasticmillion on #developers for the tip to use depends.exe, the
Dependency Walker.  What a nice tool.

Of course, there is now a crash after it loads, which will be my next
step after this checkin.

A plugins/src/iPlugletEngine.idl
A plugins/src/iPlugletManager.idl

- make IDL files for our external interfaces.

M plugins/src/Makefile.in

- move PlugletEngine.cpp to the top of the list.

M plugins/src/PlugletEngine.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletEngine.h

- big changes here.  Make this a proper generic XPCOM component.

- use the iPlugletManager interface, and the nsICategoryManager
  to make sure we get called at startup.

M plugins/src/Pluglet.cpp
M plugins/src/Pluglet.h
M plugins/src/PlugletFactory.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletFactory.h
M plugins/src/PlugletInputStream.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletInputStream.h
M plugins/src/PlugletLoader.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletManager.cpp

M plugins/src/PlugletStreamInfo.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletStreamListener.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletViewWindows.cpp
M plugins/src/PlugletsDir.cpp
M plugins/src/Registry.cpp

- remove static method PlugletEngine::GetJNIEnv, in favor of instance
  method and use of nsIServiceManager.

README

20040222

This README documents the Java Enhancers to the Mozilla web browser.

Currently, the only active sub-project is the Webclient Java API to the
Mozilla web browser.  This project also leverages the JavaDOM
sub-project.

Requirements:

* J2SDK 1.3.1 or later

* Apache ant 1.4.1 or later.  If running under J2SDK 1.4.2 or later, you
  need ant 1.6.1, due to javah issues.

* Successfully built debug enabled Mozilla 1.6 tree

How To Build:

* cd to the directory above your top level mozilla directory and cvs
  checkout the Webclient module.

* Modify mozilla/allmakefiles.sh and prepend the contents of the file
  "makefiles", in this directory, to add_makefiles section after the
  "Common makfiles used by everyone" comment.

* re-run ./configure to generate the java makefiles

* put the "mozilla/dist/bin" directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Unix,
  or PATH on Win32.

* set the value of the environment var MOZ_JDKHOME to be your J2SDK
  directory.

* Create a build.properties file in the mozilla/java directory with the
  following contents.

######
build.unix.classes=true
build.win32.classes=false
build.home=/home/edburns/Projects/mozilla/MOZILLA_1_4/mozilla/dist/classes
compile.debug=true
######

  Of course, set the values of the above properties correctly according
  to your system.

* run "ant" in the mozilla/java directory.  This will build webclient
  and all dependent libraries.  

How to run the Junit tests:

* Make sure junit.jar is properly set in your mozilla/java/build.properties

* Make sure junit.jar is installed in your $ANT_HOME/lib directory

* Set the following variables in your environment

NSPR_LOG_MODULES=webclient:4,webclientstub:4
NSPR_LOG_FILE=logfile.txt

* cd to mozilla/java/webclient

* Kill any running mozilla instances.  These will mess up the
  profilemanager code.

* run ant test

How to run the test browser (broken as of this writing):

* cd to mozilla/java/webclient/src_moz and run the "runem" batch file to
  run the test browser.

Problems?

* post to netscape.public.mozilla.java newsgroup
