******************** BLACKWOOD RELEASE 0.9 README ********************
READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE RUNNING ANY OF THE BLACKWOOD COMPONENTS
This version of Blackwood has been built on and configured for
the Solaris(TM) operating environment
This package contains the following components of the Blackwood Project
- Pluglets, JavaDOM and Webclient
The Blackwood project aims to -
1. Better integrate the Java (TM) platform with the Mozilla (Netscape 6)
Browser so developers can extend the browser with components and
plug-ins written in the Java programming language
2. Make sure that Mozilla's layout engine can be embedded in
applications running on a Java virtual machine (JVM).
More information on the Blackwood project can be obtained online at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blackwood software components run on Solaris for SPARC(TM) and
Solaris for Intel with Solaris versions 7 and 8.
You will also need to install the JRE1.3.0_01 Java Bundle that goes
with Netscape 6 PR3

JAVA PLUGLET API - A Pluglet is a plug-in that is written in the Java
programming Language. The Java Pluglet API is a close 1:1 implementation
of the new C++ Plug-in API in Mozilla and it allows users to develop
plug-ins in Java that run inside a Java Virtual Machione (JVM).
More information can be obtained online at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/java-plugins/
JAVA DOM API - The Java DOM API is an implementation of the Java Bindings
specified in the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1 Specification. This
API allows Java Applets and Pluglets to interact with and modify the
document they are embedded into.
More information can be obtained online at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/dom/
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/java-language-binding.html
WEBCLIENT - Webclient is a browser-neutral Java API that enables generic
web browsing capabilities in a Java application.

RUN INSTRUCTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLUGLETS
- Launch the browser using the shell script "netscape"
- Navigate to the url file:///opt/SUNWns6/res/javadev/pluglets/test.html
This contains several Pluglet examples.
JAVADOM
- The DOMViewer example in the Pluglets example list is a JavaDOM example
WEBCLIENT
- set the Environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the location of your
Netscape 6 binaries. If you install the SVR4 package, this will be
setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /opt/SUNWns6
- cd to the javadev/example directory
- run the shell script runem as
runem <your url>
