Re: HELP!!! swt + mozilla (adtional questions)

I like the NS_GetStringService idea, there can have a system provided 
StringService, same as componentmanager -- though I understand that 
StringService is not "really essential" to the system.

With NS_GetStringService, the whole XPCOM system can achieve the same 
goal of COM/OLE as a binary standard and be language independent (I 
guess this is not a goal of XPCOM for now, at least it clearly says 
XPCOM will depend on the compiler). I would think that will be a great 
feature for XPCOM.

I will have a look at the sdk, if it require too much C/C++ knownledge 
and too much configuration time, I will give up and just use webclient :-(

Thanks
