I was updating my add-on in order to obtain compatibility with all versions of Firefox.

My add-on uses Javascript source code, calling a Java .jar library using Java.Packages object.

I was able to obtain compatibility till to Firefox 15.0.1. In Firefox 16, however, support for LiveConnect seems to be removed.

I've looked for a solution and I have found this message: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748343

Despite I've tried some of the workarounds proposed at this link, I haven't got any result: JVM is not activated during the execution of the add-on Javascript source code. Error console does not provide any message.

Can you provide a working example source code, showing how to call a Java public class contained in a .jar file from the Javascript source code of an add-on, in Firefox 16 or following ?

Thanks in advance.

Please try asking on the #extdev IRC channel, or developer.mozilla.org. This is a support site for end users so we can't really help with add-on development.
