I would like to do this. We've been using swt-composer 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/swt-composer/) for a while, which is using 
the rather low-level XPCOM java integration. swt-composer is based on a 
rather old version of Mozilla. We would like to update to a newer version 
and use JavaXPCOM instead.

So far we didn't need to build xulrunner ourselves or even JavaXPCOM, so 
we'd need a little hand-holding to get the ball rolling. I.e. how do we get 
the Java-stuff integrated into xpidl. Should it load the java-"plugin" 
dynamically or would we just copy the whole xpidl stuff?

Also, would it be possible to use the Mozilla infrastructure for building?

Thanks,
