Sick of recreating jar file?

So I finally got my xpi to install and work!
But every time I am editing it I have to un-jar the Chrome directory.
and then re-jar it up again. Is there a shortcut around this? Or
development tools I am unaware of?

Any help would be great. Thanks...

Corey

Attached is a Win2K cmd file that does this for you automatically. 
Tweak it for your machine.

I was trying to build and test the dictionarysearch plugin but there was 
only a bourne shell script to do this, so I made one for Win2k.  I'm 
sure there are other ways that this is done.

The basic process that I use is tweak the files in a CVS controlled 
directory, run mkxpi.cmd (or mkxpi if you are using linux) and restart 
the browser.  You must install the .xpi at least once so that the .jar 
files are referenced correctly.

Check out the dictionarysearch source code for bourne shell script mkxpi 
(http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/dictionarysearch/src/)

Very nice.  I'll start using this as well.  Thanks for the recommendations.

Good stuff. So far, I had installed these items in Mozilla v1.7:
1. BugMeNot
2. ieview (Windows only)
3. PrefBar (had this one for years)

I am sure I will find more goodies to install!

Tabbed Browser Extensions is another great one. For some reason it's not 
showing up on the update.mozilla.org. It can be had through mozdev.org 
though. http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/tbe

Change Java-Plugin Classpath?

Hello,

Is it possible to change the (boot)classpath of the Java-Plugin when I 
install a Mozilla extension? Since I use some custom classes, I want to 
start Java with something similar to

java -Xbootclasspath/p:/my/own/class/path/to/my.jar

so that my.jar is found.

Is this possible? Will it work on all plattforms?

Thanks a lot,
Keno
