FW: calling Java code from Firefox extension

Hi all,
Well, as I said, I want/need to have the firefox extension communicating
with another java application.
From what I've read so far it seems that the best approach is to have a
XPCOM.
That seems exactly like what I need! the problem is that the page
(https://developer.mozilla.org/En/JavaXPCOM ) was last updated in 2006 and
the examples in 2007 (or something like that), not only it's old but also
very poorly documented and explained.
Since the JavaXPCOM is so poorly documented, 
(1 ) what I need now is some examples that will help me develop a working
skeleton on which I will be able to add functionality afterwards.
(2)By skeleton I mean a componenet which has one method which can be called
from the extension using javascript.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,

JavaXPCOM is used for making XPCOM calls from Java, so it's probably not
what you're looking for.  Some examples of using JavaXPCOM (in the context
of an app using SWT) are:
