Hi,
Considering that the Blackwood project seems abandoned, is there a way to script Java components with recent versions of Mozilla? I want to write a Composer plug-in that feeds the page currently being edited (the HTML and the images) to a Java component. This Java component converts the page to Plucker format. (Plucker is a format for offline reading on handheld.) To make components available to scripts you need to provide an XPCOM interface. However, the Blackwood project which is supposed to provide the bridging functionality for Java no longer works with recent versions of Mozilla. Is there a way to instantiate an applet inside a plug-in and communicate with that? What about security? I need to write to the local file system. I can still use the web services API and communicate via HTTP. However, I want to exhaust all other possibilities before going that route. Thanks -Laurens --- http://jpluck.sourceforge.net/ JPluck - open-source Plucker document creation toolkit.
