Simple XPConnect Scriptable Sample Plug-in

This sample plug-in demonstrates how to write a XPConnect-enabled plug-in. You should see in the plug-in rectangle below with the text "Hello World". The text box and buttons demostrate calling the scriptable xpcom interfaces of the plugin from JavaScript.

Problems?

• Can't load pluign: Copy the compiled plugin to your plugins directory

• JavaScript error in the Error console talking about how XPConnect can't build a wrapper: Copy the type library (nsISimplePluginInstance.xpt) to the mozilla components directory.

• Plugin loads, but when I push the 'Set Text' button the plugin text is not updated: Are you not running Windows? Only the Windows version updates text the plugin draws. But the calls from JS to the plugin should work on all platforms. [We welcome fixes to the samples if you'd like to submit them]
