| Port Mozilla C/C++ codebase to java | |||
| | |||
The aim of this project is to port parts of Firefox C/C++ codebase to java to create java version of Firefox eventually. Wrapping platform-specific code with Netscape Portable Runtime makes possible to use effective code translation. | |||
Project will create iterative and incremental process. Every cycle starts with working version of java Firefox (splitted up into legacy and ported parts). Cycle consist of following development tasks: | |||
1. Choosing legacy module/sources to port. | |||
2. Running source translator on it. | |||
3. Fixing (porting) broken code. Beside fixing runtime for translated code (special library to reduce and simplify code modifications of translated sources) is updating. | |||
4. Analysis new porting patterns and cases for translation using new runtime features. | |||
5. Modify translator according discovered patterns so it will produce more applicable code. | |||
6. Recover two java Firefox parts integrity if any problems. Update build scripts. | |||

| Resource tracker for extensions | |||
| | |||
Create CPU-time and memory resource tracker for add-ons. Result must be looking similar to Google Chrome Shift-Esc task manager. That is feature showing consumed resources per add-on. By contrast Chromium that use extension process separation and show process characteristics this project implementation will use js-profiling abilities of Firefox. | |||
