Hi Mike, thanks for your response. This looks promising. I like that the eclipse team has stakes in crossfire.
Ok, can I tap into your skills some more, please? I've got the python test server running, I've got "2*PI" evaluated in firefox and send back to the python server. Automating parsing/sending the json to issue commands in the correct context is no issue. But how can invoke Crossfire.NetTool? In tool-listener.js I found: /** * A Tool is an extension that registers itself to crossfire * for the purpose of sending and receiving commands and events * via the crossfire protocol/connection. */ Can you give me a pointer?
