Hi: Is it possible for us to write a XPCOM component in Java and register it to Mozilla so that the Mozilla browser can use that XPCOM component? If I cannot write a XPCOM component using Java and register it, could I invoke the JVM of Mozilla in a separate process in order to let my Java application communicate with that JVM in Mozilla? Thank you in advance.

No, Firefox is not embeddable. In order to embed, you must use XULRunner, which is what ATF uses. XULRunner and Firefox share the same rendering engine, so you shouldn't see any difference between the two when rendering a web page. Besides that, I found the Mozilla browser is running in the SWT frame. Is it possible that we discard the SWT package and let the browser run in a Swing or AWT application? Currently, this is not supported. Work on that is being handled here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335696 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335696> Javier Pedemonte ATF Developer _______________________________________________ atf-dev mailing list atf-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/atf-dev
