Firefox:Development Integration
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 we should create a text based WYSIWYG editor for those who want to be able to create there own extensions/themes.
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.
(This is just a brain storming idea, I don't have everything rock solid. This article is not finished. I will pick it up within the next day, but I will start the architecture and development layout as for anyone who would like to help please feel free posting more replies. Again, this is just brain storming. Ideas of course are greatly accepted! I would be happy to work with anyone on this project!!)
