User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: 

Simple initXPCOM code (below) works for 1.8, fails for 1.9:
fails: xulrunner-1.9.en-US.win32.zip 
fails: xulrunner-1.9.0.1pre.en-US.win32.zip 6/25/2008
fails: xulrunner-1.9.en-US.win32.sdk.zip
works: xulrunner-1.8.1.3.en-US.win32-20080128.zip





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xulrunner --register-global 
2. run test class:
package ###

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Properties;

import org.mozilla.xpcom.GREVersionRange;
import org.mozilla.xpcom.Mozilla;


public class SimplestTest {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

        // JavaXPCOM initialization
        GREVersionRange[] range = new GREVersionRange[1];
        range[0] = new GREVersionRange("1.8", true, "1.9+", true);

        Properties props = null;
        File grePath = null;
        try {
                grePath = Mozilla.getGREPathWithProperties(range, props);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                System.out.println("XULRunner not found." +
                		" Make sure you used xulrunner's command:\n " +
                		"\t \"xulrunner -register-global\"\n" +
                		"to register itself on your machine.");
                return;
        }

        Mozilla mozilla = Mozilla.getInstance();

        try {
        		mozilla.initialize(grePath);      
        		mozilla.initXPCOM(grePath, null); 
        
        } catch (Throwable t) {
                System.out.println("initXPCOM failed");
                t.printStackTrace();
                return;
        }
        // From this line, we can use JavaXPCOM

        System.out.println("\n--> initialized\n");
        
        // ... your application code ...

        // JavaXPOM finalization
        mozilla.shutdownXPCOM(null);
}
3. produces the error message set forth in the details section above.
Actual Results:  
initXPCOM failed
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: D:\Downloads\Mozilla\XUL\xulrunner90625\javaxpcomglue.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

Expected Results:  
When 1.8 is registered, the code works.

Comment 1

[John Poole]

Three additional points:

(1) In my class path are, from the 1.9 sdk:
MozillaGlue.jar
MozillaInterfaces.jar
MozillaInterfaces-src.jar

(2) The JRE is jre.1.6.0_05

(3) the associate javaxpcom.jar for the build tested was included in the class path.

Comment 2

[John Poole]

I can have the javaxpcom.jar shipped with 1.9 in the classpath and run the code using the 1.8 registered XULRunner and the code works, so it looks like
the problem is not associated with the javaxpcom.jar files.

XULRunner has been removed from the Mozilla tree: see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/_rFMunG2Bgw for context.

I am closing all the bugs currently in the XULRunner bugzilla component, in preparation for moving this component to the graveyard. If this bug is still valid in a XULRunner-less world, it will need to be moved to a different bugzilla component to be reopened.
