XULKit

NAME

XULKit - Collection of tools useful for developing XUL applications.

DESCRIPTION

XULKit is a hacked up collection of perl scripts currenty distributed as a tarball. XULKit contains a perl script used to create a new XUL application from scratch, called new-from-template.pl, and one used to build jar and xpi files, called makexpi.pl.

new-from-template.pl creates a source tree for a new xul app automatically. Users need only provide a name and such. They get a menu overlay, a xul window with a full compliment of menus, and unix and windows makefiles suitable for check in to the mozilla/extensions subdirectory.

makexpi.pl makes jar and xpi files out of the source tree for a xul app. The script is independent of the mozilla tree, allowing people with no mozilla source to develop a xul app for mozilla.
