GWT Developer Plugin for Firefox 7

[Fabricio Pizzichillo]

Hello Friends.
Again has come a new version of Firefox and the plugin does not work. Does anyone know how to do this work?

thanks!

[Thomas Broyer]

Mozilla requires that binary components be compiled against the libraries for the version of Firefox they'll run in; so the extension has to be recompiled against the Firefox 7 libraries (and a couple lines added to extension manifest).

The last 2 commits in the SVN (r10673, r10674) are adding the libraries for gecko 7 on Linux 32bits, so it's only a matter of time for the extension to be updated.

[Fabricio Pizzichillo]

Thanks Thomas.

Supposedly mozilla's jetpack SDK (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/
Jetpack/Roadmap) will make it faster to develop and migrate add on's.
At this point however it is unclear to me whether the jetpack API
supports all API function calls required by the GWT developer plugin.
So I guess my questions are

1. Can the GWT developer plugin be migrated to jetpack?
2. If it can be migrated, is there a plan to migrate it?
3. If there is a plan to migrate it, any ideas when?

Thanks

[Thomas Broyer]

I don't think JetPack is the solution. js-ctypes look like a much better one: http://adblockplus.org/blog/binary-xpcom-components-are-dead-js-ctypes-is-the-way-to-go

Hi,

If you are eager to have the plugin now, it appears it is not too hard
to rebuild it. Here is the procedure I followed:

1/ Check out the source and tools from the svn repository
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
Also checkout http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/plugin-sdks/gecko-sdks/gecko-7.0.0
(see http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#checkingout
for details)

2/ Edit several files, by either adding an extra section for ff70 copy-
pasted-adapted from what existed for ff60 (trunk/plugins/xpcom/
Makefile, trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/extension/chrome.manifest), or
by replacing 6.0 by 7.0 (trunk/plugins/xpcom/install-template.rdf)

3/ Create the directory trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/ff70/include

4/ Go to trunk/plugins/xpcom and type: make ARCH=x86 BROWSER=ff70
This will build a plugin in the directory trunk/plugins/xpcom/
prebuilt/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi
5/ In FF7.0, go to File > Open File... and open the .xpi resulting
from the build

I cannot guarantee the resulting plugin is flawless as I blindly
changed stuff without having a real understanding of FF plugin
development or the GWT plugin, but this has produced something which
works for me (FF7.0, linux 32 bits)

Mozilla are coming up with a new remote debugging protocol, jsdbg2, which should make hooking a debugger into Firefox much easier and more compatible with future releases. I think it is already a feature of the latest nightly builds (Firefox 9.x).

[Thomas Broyer]

I haven't tried it (yet) but what's needed is just to do the same as http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/detail?r=10593 but for ff70.

If you're not on Linux 32bits though (that's my case, and why I haven't tried it yet), you'd have to download the appropriate Gecko SDK for your platform and unpack it in the plugin-sdks/gecko-sdks/gecko-7.0.0/<platform>, mimicking what's been done for ff60 and/or ff70-on-Linux-32bits.

Otherwise, you're right that "make BROWSER=ff70" should be enough (the README says the ARCH defaults to the one of the machine you run the build on); it'd add support for ff70 for your platform to the prebuilt XPI.

I bet it's a bit different on Windows though.

[David Sanders]

Yeah I'm on Ubuntu 64 bit

For other 64 bit users out there, I needed to do the following:
 - Get your Linux 64bit gecko sdk from Mozilla (available here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/7.0/sdk )
 - Add "-std=gnu++0x" to CFLAGS in the Makefile
 - Make sure I had the 32 bit building stuff - I needed to install libc6-dev-i386 & g++-multilib

(The error I got previously was from not editing the Makefile correctly so I deleted my post)

[wbabachan]

It works for me too. Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 But I got xullrunner 7.0.1

[Fabricio Pizzichillo]

Can you upload it to svn or somewhere?

Hello,

Would you mind sharing your xpi file ? I am on Ubuntu 64bit also and I am having trouble compiling the plugin :-/

Thanks!

Of course I can do, but I have no idea, how and where. Unfortunately I
can't attach the xpi here, Is there any way to attach the xpi here ? I
want to share it.

[wbabachan]

OK I've found a way, I have uploaded the file here:

I Hope that it helps everyone.

Awesome. Can you share the link where it can be found?

[Michele Adams]

Wbabachan,

Can you share the link where the xpi can be found? What version of the
developer plugin is it?

Thanks wbabachan.....I guess we'll find out if it will work with Firefox
6.0.2

[Michele]

Hmmm....I'm unable to access the site so is there a way you can change the extension and send it to me as an attachment?

Attached file is GWT FF plugin for FF7 on Ubuntu 11 64. in case anyone does not want to re-build it by himself.

My Ubuntu info:
uname -a:

cat /etc/issue:
Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l

[Lorenzo M]

Many thanks Ivan, but still I cannot make it work on FF 7.0.1. I keep
getting the same error message Kees de Kooter reported.
Any chance someone can share the plugin built for Firefox 7.0.1?
Unofrtunateli, I didn't manage to compile it by myself :/

Thanks!

It's available on the GWT SVN; just a matter of time 'til it makes it to an official release with the auto-update process right from firefox.

[Alan Leung]

Yes. I checked it in last night and tested it on all the OS.

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Hello Alan.

Thanks for the update.

Just tried to run one of my applications with it. Crashes Firefox 7
(updated through the Ubuntu update) before the application is loaded
on Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit.

Could not find a log other than the dump from the crash reporter.
Should I send you this?

Greetings,
Michael

I manually rebuilt from SVN and that worked.

I on Gentoo Linux 32bits (built plugin attached).

[koma]

works perfectly on my Ubuntu 64 bit

[Alan Leung]

Thanks for the info.

That is pretty weird.....I can't think of any reason why that would happen

Let me try rebuilding...

Yes works also on my ThinkPad with Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit and Firefox
7.0.1 at home.

[Alan Leung]

For those who had experienced a crash on 32bit Linux, would you mind doing me a favor by trying the attached xpi file?

Thanks!

I should have mentioned, that it works now on 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu for me.

It seems to work for me as well, under Firefox 7.0.1 with Windows 7
x64.

When is the deployment planned ?
