Good to hear that your embedding is on it feet!
The code to the XPIDL compiler is here:

You may be interested in:

Which is suppose to generate java interfaces based on the IDL file.
I found the code, but that is not generating the java code I needed. I
also try to read the source code to see whether I can change it, then
soon I got lost -- seemed I need to understand libIDL, then I need to
understand glib ... Is there any document for this part?
Also, where can I found document for DOMString, and what does the "raise
exception" mean in the XPCOM world -- I mean at the binary level, is it
a C/C++ exception? Or operating system exception?
Note that you probably want to minimize your linking to xpcom and other
Gecko libraries. Most of the symbols exported are not "frozen" and
therefore subject to change. If you need a conversion unicode->UTF8,
you might just wanna lift the code from XPCOM. If you want something
more involve,write up a bug in bugzilla (bugzilla.mozilla.org). Let see
if we can talk to the i18n folks about getting something frozen for you.
I just want to write more Java code :-) After several years Java
programming, I have almost forget how to write C/C++ code, especially
when I have no experience of writing cross platform C/C++ code, make me
very hard to compile/debug/hack/ide mozilla.
I don't need unicode->UTF8, just need utility methods to manipulate the
nsAString and nsACString. They are too complicated C++ classes for me :-)
Happy New Year,
Thanks
