MozAppGen

Mozilla Application Generater

mozappgen is a perl cgi program that generates a mozilla application 'stub'. This application stub is a complete installable mozilla application. While complete and functional it really does nothing. It is an application framework to build out with your code. You supply the application name, author name and application description and the mozappgen[1] will build:

the application structure. /content /locale /skin directories
rdf files, default css xul dtd files
a /InstallMaker.pl script to generate an xpi of built out application
a generic webpage with install trigger and other usefull things

And then deliver this to you as a downloadable zip file via a webpage.

The NEW and IMPROVED MozAppGenB?[1] makes a cleaner /ApplicationStub for you to build your app on.

I am still working on this so any feed back would be helpfull! The plan is to have options on the web page for the generation of application stubs that can overlay on to others apps such as navigator.xul, browser.xul, editor.xul etc. I would welcome your ideas about specific types of stubs. Mail ideas to Jim[2] or post them here for everyone to comment on!
