edburns%acm.org df785dc1ba This checkin provides a sketch of how I plan to re-implement the
NewWindowListener mechanism.  Next step will be to continue to try to
get it working.

A test/automated/src/classes/org/mozilla/webclient/WindowCreatorTest.java
A test/automated/src/test/WindowCreatorTest0.html
A test/automated/src/test/WindowCreatorTest1.html

- new test, currently fails.

M build-tests.xml

- add new test, non-running

M classes_spec/org/mozilla/webclient/impl/wrapper_native/EventRegistrationImpl.java

- prep for NewWindowListener

M src_moz/WindowCreator.cpp

- sketch implementation plan.  In WindowCreator.CreateChromeWindow2:

+        /*
+          Block this thread.
+
+          Call back into java and ask the user to create a top level
+          window and hand it, or an added child of it, to us.  Call this
+          thing the userWindow.
+
+          Create a new BrowserControl, get its BrowserControlCanvas and
+          make it be a child of the userWindow.
+
+          Set the userWindow and the BrowserControlCanvas to visible ==
+          true.  This is necessary to get the cause the underlying
+          mozilla window to be created.
+
+          java returns the C++ nativeBrowserControl to us.  Cast it to a
+          native NativeBrowserControl C++ object instance.  If the
+          nsIURI is non-null, cause the new window to navigate to that
+          URI.  Return the NativeBrowserControl's EmbedWindow instance,
+          which is an impl of nsIWebBrowserChrome.
+
+          I'm not sure if it's safe to do all this on the same thread on
+          which mozilla calls us.  I hope so.

Here lies the MozWebShell java wrapper to mozilla M8.

========================================================================
Win32 Build Directions:
========================================================================
Requirements:

* built mozilla with source code from after 10/5/99

* JDK1.1.7 or greater

* built org.mozilla.util java classes (see NOTE_UTIL)

* Perl 5 perl.exe must be in your path

How To Build:

* Follow the directions in ..\README

* type "nmake /f makefile.win all" and hope for the best

How to Run:

* once the build has successfully completed, run this batch file:

  .\src\WIN32_D.OBJ\runem.bat <opt: YOUR_URL>

  Note that YOUR_URL is probably necessary since firewall support wasn't
  working in M8.


Problems:

* clobber_all doesn't remove the .class files from dist\classes.  You
  have to do this manually.

* post to netscape.public.mozilla.java newsgroup

========================================================================
Unix Build Directions (currently only Linux, 
Solaris support is coming soon):
========================================================================
Requirements:

* built mozilla tree for some variant of Linux

* JDK1.2 with native threads support from http://www.blackdown.org 
(JDK1.1 doesn't seem to work)

* built org.mozilla.util java classes (see NOTE_UTIL)

How To Build:

* Follow the directions in ../util/README

* set JDKHOME to where your JDK install directory resides 
	-> setenv JDKHOME /usr/local/jdk1.2

* cd to 'classes' and type "make -f makefile.unix" and hope for the best
	-> cd classes; make -f Makefile.unix

* then cd to 'src' and type "make -f makefile.unix" and hope for the best
	-> cd src; make -f Makefile.unix

How to Run:

* once the build has successfully completed, run 'runem.unix' in your
'src' directory:
	-> cd src; ./runem.unix <YOUR_URL>

  Note that YOUR_URL is probably necessary since firewall support wasn't
  working in M8.

Problems? Email mark.lin@eng.sun.com or post to netscape.public.mozilla.java.

========================================================================
NOTE_UTIL:
========================================================================
* this package depends on the org.mozilla.util classes, which can be
  found in the mozilla tree under mozilla\java\util.  They are a
  separate checkout and build.  Once you check out the org.mozilla.util
  classes, see the README in the mozilla\java\util\README.

General notes:

* Please update the ChangeLog (changelo) when you make changes.
