ChatZilla in XULRunner

Pre-packaged

If you don't like the idea of doing your own package, there is a pre-made ChatZilla XULRunner package available - please note that it is an in-development version of ChatZilla, and should therefore be considered unfinished.

Directory Layout

To make an XUL Runner application, the following basic directory layout is used:

ChatZilla ChatZilla/chrome ChatZilla/chrome/icons ChatZilla/defaults ChatZilla/defaults/preferences

Files

A few files need to be placed into each directory, as listed below:

ChatZilla/application.ini

[App] Vendor=Mozilla Name=ChatZilla Version=0.9.68.6 BuildID=2005071520 Copyright=Copyright (c) 2004 - 2005 Mozilla.org ID={59c81df5-4b7a-477b-912d-4e0fdf64e5f2} [Gecko] MinVersion=1.0 MaxVersion=1.8 [Shell] Icon=chrome/icons/chatzilla

ChatZilla/chrome/chatzilla.manifest

content chatzilla jar:chatzilla.jar!/content/chatzilla/ skin chatzilla modern/1.0 jar:chatzilla.jar!/skin/modern/chatzilla/ locale chatzilla en-US jar:chatzilla.jar!/locale/en-US/chatzilla/

ChatZilla/chrome/icons

In here, you need to put the .ico, .xpm and 16.xpm files from the ChatZilla XPI.

ChatZilla/defaults/preferences/chatzilla.js

pref("toolkit.defaultChromeURI", "chrome://chatzilla/content/chatzilla.xul"); pref("browser.dom.window.dump.enabled", true); pref("javascript.options.strict", true); pref("javascript.options.showInConsole", true);

Note: the bottom three are not really required, but make debugging much easier.

ChatZilla/chrome/chatzilla.jar

This is just a normal ChatZilla JAR - copy it from the XPI file from any source or other installation you have.

Running it

Follow the instruction when you run xulrunner on its own.

Linux

xulrunner -app path/to/ChatZilla/application.ini

Windows

xulrunner.exe -app path\to\ChatZilla\application.ini
