[atf-dev] JavaXPCOM ownership
|
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Dear ATFers,
As the primary clients of Mozilla's JavaXPCOM technology, I'm looking for
nominations/volunteers for somebody to be maintainer of the JavaXPCOM
bridge. Javier Pedemonte was formerly the module owner of JavaXPCOM in the
Mozilla code. As far as I know, Javier is no longer available to maintain
this code (he hasn't responded to the emails I've sent).
As part of Mozilla's ongoing work to streamline our codebase and make it
easier to maintain, we're planning on removing JavaXPCOM from the Mozilla
core and have it be maintained as a separate project. I'm afraid that future
releases of Mozilla/XULRunner will happen without a JavaXPCOM project and
tools such as Eclipse which use JavaXPCOM will be stuck on older versions of
Mozilla.
If there were an active owner, I'd also like to explore other ways that Java
could embed Mozilla without the complexity and instability from the
JavaXPCOM bridge: perhaps something more like a Java<->JavaScript bridge or
reusing the Java<->NPAPI bridge to extract information from Mozilla in a
more stable way.
