Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Webkit

[Niranjan R. <nh...@gm...>]

Greetings again.

I have posted my generated code at https://github.com/nhrdl/GirToGnomeJava

This is simple maven project. After you compile the project, just run 
the jar file. It accepts two parameters - name of GIR file and output 
directory.

I have not modified any of the java gnome sources. Rather I am using the 
existing infrastructure by feeding new files. My generator, currently 
generates the "defs" file and corresponding bindings in src/bindings 
directory. You can execute the make command after running generator to 
compile the sources. If everything goes well, you should get just one 
compiler error in the generated c code.

Currently we generate only constructor in the src/binding directory. 
Constructors are generated properly and code should compile. Generated 
defs files are proper and do have all the method information. So 
executing make command should generate proper bindings and all the 
methods are available.

My current approach is to add functions I need to use in src/bindings 
directory. However this can be completely automated and I should be able 
to generate (mostly) proper bindings given some more time.

After fixing the minor compiler error in the generated C code (please 
refer to readme.md), you should be able to use webkit in your java/gtk 
applications - though not very useful in its default state as "loadUri" 
method for WebVeiw is not generated and there is no way to tell it. You 
can fix it by adding following method in the WebView class

  public void loadUri(String string) {

         ready = false;
         WebKitWebView.loadUri(this, string);

     }

Regards,

Niranjan
