am trying to get toolbar in a testable state without going through with the whole installation procedure with XPI files etc... (partly I expect that procedure to be cumbersome and will need to be repeated lots during development, and partly I don't see a "de-install" heading anywhere) - so I'm looking at "installed-chrome.txt" for getting the thing going... I see a typical line in this file is:
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/cview.jar!/locale/en-US/cview/
it all seems to refer to java files and I understand these refer to an rdf file which refers to my xul file - I've given up on making sense of the documentation this evening - am I on the right lines so far?, do I need to create a jar and an rdf file to test my xul file? Also what is the syntax used in installed-chrome so that I can add to it? Is there a simple example I can crib from anywhere?
Please use npd.xul for this stuff (or npm.xpinstall). This has little/nothing to do with XPCOM.
You don't need a JAR file, you can use ordinary flat files instead of zipping them up. For example, put your files in the folder [mozilladir]/chrome/myextensionfiles/, and put this line in installed-chrome.txt:
content,install,url,resource:/chrome/myextensionfiles/
You *do* need a contents.rdf file, but you can probably just copy a simple extension and change the obvious things that need changing:
