I basically know nothing about plugin development for web browsers, but
Mozilla's own documentation says that "The DOM java object has been removed
in Gecko 15.0 ((Firefox 15.0 / Thunderbird 15.0 / SeaMonkey 2.12). For this
and other reasons, you should not write extensions that use Java code."[1].
As for Chrome, it seems that Java isn't supported for plugin development
neither[2]. Note that, in both cases, compiling Java to JavaScript wouldn't
probably be a viable solution in our case because of performance.
In any case, what's the point of having an offline plugin for a web
browser? If you are surfing the web, it's obvious that you have an Internet
connection, so an online plugin could do the same job without any problem...
