xulrunner and java

[Benoit DECHERF]

Hi,

I'd like to create a framework to use xulrunner as the view of a java
application.

The idea of the framework is :
- install xulrunner if necessary (So that the application based on the
framework will run on any plateform, without the need of a pre installed
xulrunner)
- embed a web server like jetty (To be abble to comunicate from a xul
application to a java server)
- create some basic js methods to comunicate to the server
- create some basic class to start the jetty server and initialise the
services class (I think that the server will be based on jersey).

What do you think about that project ?
Which licence should I use (BSD, LGPL, GPL) ?

Am I writing to the correct mailling list ?

Thanks,
Benoit

FYI -- You might look into using JSF for the view framework. I'm
pretty sure I've seen a JSF component library that renders XUL
elements (as opposed to HTML).

Or did you intend to use XULRunner as a no-frills web browser and
still use HTML for content?

The idea is to have a framework that help you tu create a standalone
application using html, flash, xul or everything supported by firefox and
with the power of java.

Xulrunner is really a great project, and I like to use the it to make
complex application that can write to any database or doing any complex
things. Xulrunner need to have a more powerful language. Today, there are a
lot of framework that help you to make great web application in java. I'd
like to be able to use these framewrorks to make standalone applications,
easy to install on any desktop and without the dependence on a preinstalled
firefox or xulrunner. These way, you will be able to create a flash
frontend, that connect to a local java server using webservices. I just want
the installation and launch of xulrunner and the local server to be
transparent for the user. And of course I want it to be crossplatform.

Can I use the BSD licence for this project ? ( I want to use and embed
xulrunner, but just using command line and without modification )
