There are other options there, either start the selenium server using
command like
java -jar selenium-rc.jar -userExtensions user-extension.js
or we can use some code similar to
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer(4444, false, true);
seleniumServer.start();
seleniumServer.addNewStaticContent(new File("/you_path/user-
extensions.js"));
We may like to update Tellurium to add the path for user-
extensions.js.
If you really need the user-extensions.js inside selenium-server.jar,
I can
add that to the ant build script for you later. But I like to separate
the user-extensions.js
out from selenium-server.jar.
I will check out your code tonight and see if I can add the user-
extensions.js path
for you.
Thanks,
Jian
