What do you mean by official? It's not part of Lazarus if that is
what you mean. If it is stable enough, it could be.
I mean our project. :) I'm searching for solutions to a problem and
based on what we can do we will build a project. My boss has not
decided if he would actually integrate applets to our software. But I
think this is what he will want. So MPP comes into the game if we
choose to write the solution in FPC.

Seeing that JavaScript can talk to the Java applet, it has to talk via
some API. If you can find out what, that could be added to MPP.
Currently (as far as I remember - I haven't touched the code since
January) you can only pass parameters to the plugin as it gets loaded.
The interaction should be possible, you just need to know more about
how JavaScript talks to plugins. That would be a very cool feature
though. Imagine what good looking GUI interfaces you can build with
embedded flash files inside you app! :-)
For now, initialization on applet start-up will be enought. I'm not
going into real-time interraction as in ajax for now :) But as you say
that would be impressive to do that.
I am sure there are main more bugs. The project is far from
production quality, but should have a good base to continue on. Linux
support still requires most work.
Yes, it gives a pretty good starting point: the concept does work. And
it is very interesting to actually directly talk to the plugin API...
the mozilla way. :) I'm impressed by this brilliant idea!
Best regards.
