Re: Trying to embed mozilla, can't getGREPathWithProperties

Ok, two more pieces of information:

Replacing
File grePath = Mozilla.getGREPathWithProperties(range, null);
with
File grePath = new File("/Users/myname/sources/mozilla/obj-i686-apple-
darwin8.8.2/dist/XUL.framework/Versions/1.8.0.4");
i.e., the path to the javaxpcom.jar file, works fine. However,
naturally this is no good if I ever want to distribute this. So I
still need some way of getting the path properly.

Second, the unix command ' ./xulrunner-bin --find-gre 1.8.0.4' returns
the path to the libxpcom.dylib file, but the command './xulrunner-bin
--register-global' gives me:

"Registration not implemented on this platform!"

I assume that this is related to the source o my problems (though I
could be way off). Can I register and get GREs on a Mac?

Thanks for any help,
Sam
