Hi all,

I'm part of a research team that has been developing an extension that makes use of java. Or at least it used to. In Firefox 21 we are unable to use any of the previous methods for getting access to the java class files in our jars. We're aware of this:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748343
But comments 73 & 75 seem to indicate that there is some work around.

and

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Java_in_Firefox_Extensions

But the timeline for everything is confusing.

Can anyone confirm whether:
1) They have java working in their extension?
2) There is no longer any interoperability between FF extensions and java?

Many thanks,

Peter
