Subject: [ruby-talk:12942] [Ann] rbXPCOM (interface to Mozilla's component)


Hi,

I have just registered XPCOM interface extention library to RAA.
XPCOM is a component technology used in the Mozilla project.

This release is intendent to report the progress of development.
It is by no means usable to any real application, yet.  Please
check out rbXPCOM at RAA, if you are interested in.

  http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=rbXPCOM

Implemented Features:

  * load XPCOM components into Ruby interpreter

  * call method of XPCOM component from Ruby code

  * implement XPCOM components with Ruby

Not yet implemented:
  * anything but above

Eventually it will enable Ruby to control Mozilla or to create a
GUI application using XUL.

Regards,
Kenichi Komiya.
