[edit] How to embedding mozilla inside of Java

There hasn't been any good code examples found. However, there is a stripped down, uncommented code with eclipse libraries in this thread. Here is the code : 

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.MozillaBrowser;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.ProgressEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.ProgressListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.mozilla.xpcom.nsIDOMDocument;

public class Test {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                Display display = new Display();
                Shell shell = new Shell(display);

                final MozillaBrowser browser = new MozillaBrowser(shell,WT.BORDER);
                browser.setUrl("http://www.google.com");
                browser.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
                        public void changed(ProgressEvent event) {
                        }

                        public void completed(ProgressEvent event) {
                            nsIDOMDocument doc = browser.getDocument();
                                System.out.println(doc);
                        }
                });

                while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
                        if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
                                display.sleep();
                        }
                }
        }

[edit] How to map a Javascript function to a C++ function

Define an XPCOM class defining the function you'll be doing in javascript. Then pass the object to your XPCOM coded object and call it from C++. You can find a better quality answer repeated and with an example in this newsgroup thread.
