Using the JVM development platform to integrate XUL script support
- For those who have not been reading the Mozilla developers news, they want their end-users to be able to learn how and to create their own themes/extensions themselves for Mozilla products. Of course you can't do this without knowing basic Java and Mozilla's own XUL language based for the T-Bird Inbox, Mozilla, and Firefox web browsers. If we created either internally to the application itself or as an XPI plugin extension creating a text based WYSIWYG editor for those who want to be able to create there own extensions/themes. We need to develope in the package itself (for those developing extensions), a pre-made template that will already load a blank app so that the user doesn't have to develope from scratch, currently what I'm already doing (as suggested by Mozilla) is to download an existing extension and/or theme and just recreate the XUL & JS files, then just re-package the XPI/JAR.
- Obviously the integration of this development package would not be for everyone, those who would want to create their own theme would need a program such as Photoshop, some basic knowledge of CSS, and even a little XUL for the .rdf/.xul files with those extensions.
- For those just beginning in XUL or who want to further their knowledge and know how this is the best site I have found covering all and I mean ALL documentation on the XUL language. XUL Planet
