My first project @mozdev

A few days ago, I posted my first project to mozdev - Show Java Console. It is a Firefox extension which adds a menu under Tool menu to show the Java Console.

The project itself is trivial - not more than 20 lines of code. But it lets me get familiar with many things:

• how to create an extension for Firefox/Mozilla (what files should be included, what files should be put to where, how to write the makefile, installation script, etc.);
• the procedure of how to register a new project in mozdev;
• how to setup the webpages of your project;
• how to submit your extension to the mozilla update site.

OK, now click this link to get showjavaconsole installed on your Firefox.
