Mozilla as a Development Platform: An Interview with Axel Hecht (O'ReillyNet)Mozilla as a Development Platform: An Interview with Axel Hecht (O'ReillyNet)Posted Sep 5, 2005 18:35 UTC (Mon) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: Mozilla as a Development Platform: An Interview with Axel Hecht (O'ReillyNet) by patipati Parent article: Mozilla as a Development Platform: An Interview with Axel Hecht (O'ReillyNet)
Mozilla is useless as a development platform. Ehm, why ? Almost 2 years ago, I tried using Mozilla as my browser of choice to develop basic JAVA code linked on a web page. This was (is?) absolutely impossible. The cache refused to update the screen when I did a reload. It kept seeing the first java it loaded. In outher words you've So... your rant is relevant... how exactly ? It looks to me like refusal to use GCC since GTK+ compiled with GCC does not suit you and you like FCL better... Choice is yours, of course, but how the GCC is related to your GTK+ frustration ?

Mozilla as a Java Platform Posted Sep 6, 2005 9:11 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] You are completely right. The original poster is not even using Firefox code, since Java runs in a separate, Sun-provided plugin.For the record, I usually disable Java, since it provides little of interest and just pollutes my browsing. Even worse with Flash, but there are some lame sites which require it. I hope XUL does not become the next major annoyance.
Mozilla as a Java Platform Posted Sep 6, 2005 15:42 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] my understanding is that XUL is not something to be downloaded from random servers and run locally (like Java, Javascript, Flash, etc), but instead is a platform to use to write cross-platform client-side apps (more like Perl, etc)
Mozilla as a XUL Platform Posted Sep 6, 2005 15:55 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] After seeing things like this: http://robin.sourceforge.net/, I'm not so sure.
