Hi Fred,

  I might be a litte naive, but I think it's far less
complex than you imagine.

  To reuse Java code put it in jars as usual. 

  To reuse the chrome is a litte more involed if you
want to merge menus, toolbars, and so on. Please,
check out overlays in the Mozilla XUL docs on how to
merge XML fragments using insertion points and more. 

  Luxor currently doesn't support overlays. However, I
don't see it as a blue sky project like a port to SWT
or Mono. It's should be doable in a couple of weeks.

  But again to restate my opinion. Please don't focus
on reshuffling the Ramses code, please create some
fresh examples instead and document your own work as
examples for everyone to follow.

  - Gerald
