Yes, I think that's correct.

I have gotten it to work with Mozilla 1.7.13 source code.  I haven't 
tried anything newer.

Right, there are Java WebStart demo applications.  If you run these jnlp 
files using javaws the a browser should pop up.

Hmm... I don't see them anywhere.  If the WebStart works, then you will 
have the compiled version downloaded in your WebStart cache.  You should 
then be able to use this version.  You could also download the files 
manually:

	http://jrex.mozdev.org/ws/ws_linux/JRexDll.jar
		contains libjrex.so, the JNI portion of JRex.
	http://jrex.mozdev.org/ws/ws_linux/JRex.jar
		contains the Java classes for JRex
	http://jrex.mozdev.org/ws/ws_linux/jrex_gre.jar
		contains jrex_gre.zip which contains the entire GRE
		required for running JRex.

Once you have all of these pieces you should be able to follow the 
instructions on the site to get it running.  I don't know how old these 
are and if they contain any bugs that are fixed in the latest version.

I hope that helps.
