280005 - Using ant to perform test functionality about Blackwood-webclient I obtain an exception error

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Java APIs to WebShell, defect)

Description

[Alessandro]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; it-IT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

I installed the tools as in "Getting started" procedure. First of all: running
ant I obtained an error, since software test could not find xpcom.dll. So I used
the one I found in FireFox 1.0.
I executed ANT once again, and I obtained the following error message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla>ant
Buildfile: build.xml

main:
     [java] java.lang.RuntimeException: NS_InitEmbedding() failed.

Terminate batch job (Y/N)? y

What can I do now?

Please help me!

Reproducible: Always

1. Install Mozilla version 1.7.5
2. Install ant (I used the one that I have in Netbeans, ant version is 1.6.2)
3. Unzip webclient "webclient_2_0_a3_win32.zip".
4. Copy extracted files in mozilla directory (where the executable is).
5. execute ant.
6. I obtained "xpcom.dll" not found.
7. I copied xpcom.dll from FireFox 1.0.
8. Run ant again.
9. I obtained the error.
10. Stop.

Actual Results:  
Search in internet and in Mozilla site for possible solutions. Nothing found.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
