Hi Brent, First of all : Thank you ! ;)
It is a little more understandable for me now, but I have some questions about what you said. > First, WebKit is a rendering engine. As such, it does provide > features that would permit you to build a cross-platform interface > using, for example, JavaScript and HTML to build a user interface. In > fact, I am pursuing something along these lines at the moment. Maybe have I made an error thinking I can use as a Java API (like PDFbox), including it in a Java project and use functions it provides. Because when I opened the windows package of webkit (http://webkit.org/), I didn't found any .java files and haven't any idea on "how can I do ?"... > Think in terms of something like libJPEG; you can use it on multiple > platforms, but it has to be individual compiled for those platforms. > You will need a different 'build' of WebKit for each platform (one for > Windows, Linux, Embedded OS, etc.) Ok. So WebKit is something like a Java API with a .jar for each platform. I will have to built a different .jar in the end of my work. Don't hesitate to stop me if I say something wrong. I would like to be very sure about what I understand because it is very important for what I have to do ;) > I don't believe WebKit provides any built-in support for PDF, Audio, > or Video. These are generally handled by platform-specific services > (such as PDFKit on Mac OS). I haven't already search at the moment (I tried to understand what really is webkit and its possibilities), but I thought it exists something like Qtopia, based on the webkit which provides functions to manipulate PDF. Hum... It seems to be the point the more complex I will have to study ^^ > This might be your best bet; Qt provides a lot of what you are asking > about (including built-in WebKit), as well as being available on a > variety of platforms. http://trolltech.com/downloads/opensource#qtopia-open-source-edition Does it mean that I can develop on a mobile phone ? ... I really need to open my eyes on technology -_-' I would like to develop on Windows and use the application on Mac and iphone system. Thank you very much again ;) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Questions-about-WebKit-tp18380459p18398907.html Sent from the Webkit mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
