问题
My goal is to get Limewire(JAVA) and Songbird(XULRunner) to run together.
I was thinking the best way is to run the XUL application(songbird) inside a JAVA swing panel. Is there another way?
Would it be better or possible to have the GUI entirely in XUL, and then access my JAVA objects somehow?
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks
回答1:
Take a look at JRex, as it might let you peek into a couple of ideas.
Other than that, I'd also research about Rhinohide as well.
回答2:
Take a look at DJ Native Swing, a native Swing implementation using SWT and Xulrunner.

I am currently researching XUL for a new product and I came across JavaXPCOM which allows Java code to interact with XPCOM objects. I'm still wrapping my head around the Mozilla stack, but from what I understand all XULRunner applications use XPCOM. Therefore, it seems like you should be able to embed Songbird with this approach.
回答4:
The official XUL implementation by Mozilla and is heavily dependent on Gecko. Gecko is not written in Java nor embedded in AWT/Swing/SWT (at least without using JNI).
So, the short answer is: no. You must either use JNI or use heavy, complex and incomplete third party libaries.
However, JavaXPCOM seems to allow embedding Gecko: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaXPCOM But in that case you'll depend on Gecko... and I don't know if that's enough to run Songbird.

I would examine Limewire's source code. If there's a clean separation between UI and the rest of the application, I would try finding a solution to instantiate and invoke Limewire's non-UI code from within a Songbird extension.

I would take a look at eclipse swt's embedding of xulrunner: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#whatisbrowser
