Hello Antoine,
Has anyone already used Blackconnect for connecting xul and java ?
Or does anyone know a way to connect java to xul application ?
I tried to use blackconnect without success and I can't find a lot of
documentation about this subject and it seems the projects hasn't
been touched for at least 2 years ... is it normal ?
Could someone give me a hand on that ?
You might check if NewsMonster - an open source news, weblog, and
RSS aggregator running inside Mozilla and developed in Java,
JavaScript, XUL & friends - includes an updated package.
As far as I remember the author - Kevin "Burtonator" Burton and a
friend have started a Java umbrella project on modev.org. See
http://java.mozdev.org
The blurb states:
Turn Java into a first-class citizen of the Mozilla/XUL platform.
This will enable developers to build applications where a Java backend
can be used to interact with a Mozilla/XUL front-end, combining the
power of Java's server libraries with the interactivity and user
interface capabilities of Mozilla.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell both projects, that is,
NewsMonster and the Java mozdev.org projects are orphans as Kevin
Burton and Brad GNUberg are busy with their new startup Rojo. See
http://rojo.com
As an alternative you might check out "pure" emerging Java solutions
such as MozCreator XUL Browser @ http://xulbrowser.sourceforge.net or
any of a dozen others such as Sulu, Luxor, LUX, etc.
Another alternative might be to embed Mozilla as a Java widget. See
the JRex project online @ http://jrex.mozdev.org
Let us know your findings if you investigate Mozilla XUL and Java
interop issues further.
