adding firebug to an embedded browser

[pablol]

Hi, I'm using xulrunner, and mozilla interfaces to embed a browser in
a java application. I've been trying to add firebug to it without any
success.
Could anyone help me on this?

TIA

If help means answer questions here, yes.

Interesting.., what if it means: Have anyone done this?, and if yes,
how?

Thanks

I don't know of anyone trying to get Firebug working in xulrunner. It
won't 'just work' because Firebug relies on tabbrowser which is a
Firefox only feature.

I have gotten chromebug to work in firefox via -chrome <chrome-url>,
which is close to a xulrunner like environment (so close I don't
understand why anyone would use xulrunner). But I had to write code to
hack around the tabbrowser need. So Firebug adapted to xulrunner is
feasible but not trivial.

Hi John,

Thanks for answering.
What I've done is embed a browser (through xulrunner) inside eclipse
and in a swing application as well, and develop a web app that it is
loaded at startup that interacts to the java application. What I'm
trying to do now, is to open firebug in order to test the web app
without having to open it in firefox and simulate all the interaction
with the java side.
I've found a blog about netbeans where they show a screenshot with
this, but they don't explain how they did it ( http://wiki.netbeans.org/EmbeddedBrowser
).
I've tryed this ( http://praveenmatanam.wordpress.com/2007/12/27/convert-firefox-extension-to-xulrunner/
) tutorial as well that workarroung the tabbrowser issue, but since my
app it's not a xul app, I don't have an application.ini file to enable
extensions.

Do you know what changes have to be made to the last tutorial in order
to make it work with xulrunner? any ideas will help!

Thanks,

Pablo.

Sorry I don't know anything about those efforts you link to. Perhaps
you can contact the people involved with those projects. John.

Pablol,

Is your application/project open source?

I didn't saw your mail before, sory.

No, it is not.
