Building JavaXPCOM
From MDC
JavaXPCOM provides a bridge for Java applications to embed Gecko and use XPCOM components. Building JavaXPCOM requires an installed JDK and a few build options.
[edit] Prerequisites
Building JavaXPCOM requires an installed JDK.
- Macintosh builders will normally have the JDK pre-installed.
- Windows and Linux users can download the Sun JDK from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp.
[edit] Build Options
To enable building the JavaXPCOM components, you must build the "java" extension. This is normally accomplished with the following flag in your mozconfig file:
ac_add_options --enable-javaxpcom
The configure code must be able to find the installed JDK. You must either set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the directory of your JDK installation, or specify the additional configure flag:
ac_add_options --with-java-include-path=dir ac_add_options --with-java-bin-path=dir
Note: If you are building on Mac OS X and you do not specify the --with-java-include-path or --with-java-bin-path configure flags, the build defaults to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Headers.
