Not sure, what do you mean? You can use java via xpcom only. But not
only java, you can use C++, python, javascript in the same way as java.
What's difference?
I'm a little confused, sorry. :-)
Are you saying that with a standard Firefox 2.0 I can create a python object in
the same way as java?
I feel I don't know what is the "way as java"... ;)
But ActiveState Komodo is built on mozilla platform with python.
I can write to a local file using javascript in this way?
var out = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.FileWriter("test.txt"));
out.write("Hello World");
Yes, but JavaScript doesn't contain io stuff. So you have to use other xpcom-components, like
"@mozilla.org/network/file-output-stream;1"
What surprised me is that I can use every j2se classes out-of-the-box without
any security restriction (in chrome).
Of course, mozilla doesn't have any access to JVM internals.
I think that there are some cases where is easier using java than an XPCOM
component.
Yeah... maybe... but not all cases definitely. Just make dependencies on the 20-25 mb JRE only just for writing a
file... moreover you can make it with mozilla-native components.
