Project Update

May 5th, 2006

Some stuff I’ve been working on:

xpclucene - Firefox extension that lets you index and search the pages you surf.

audioscrobbler - An audioscrobbler extension for Songbird.

JavaScript plugin for jEdit - Syntax checking, scope checking, and structure browsing for JavaScript in jEdit.

threaddemo - Firefox extension demonstrating the use of threads from JavaScript.

    hi steven, nice work, i just tried to install your audioscrobbler extension but Songbird tells me it is not compatible with the current build. I edited the install.rdf file but it still didnt budge.

    Hi,
    I installed threaddemo extension to my firefox build with debug mode.
    Whenever I do some action I get errors:

    !!!!! XPConnect wrapper thread use error…
    XPConnect WrappedNative is being accessed on multiple threads but the underlying native xpcom object does not have a nsIClassInfo with the ‘THREADSAFE’ flag set
    wrapper: [xpconnect wrapped nsIEventQueueService @ 0×999be28 (native @ 0×8f77118)]
    JS call stack…

    I have exactly the same problem with my extension and I’m wandering if you or anybody else can advice how to handle threads in a safe way.

    Thanks,
    Lukas

    Great work, I’ve been using it in my Firefox extension development.
    Looks like error checking doesn’t work anymore in JEdit 4.3pre, though :(
