616768 - make reddit-panel example use jQuery again

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: patch v1: makes change

Intrepid platform developers have found a fix for bug 614757.  And there's a reasonable chance it'll land for Firefox 4.0b8.  Once it lands, we should update the reddit-panel example to use jQuery again, and if it's not too late, we should apply the change to the 1.0b1 branch, so SDK users can see how to use jQuery as a content script.

Assuming the platform fix lands for 4.0b8, here's the SDK patch that adds jQuery back into the example.  It basically just reverts the fix for bug 615081, except that it also updates jQuery from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4, switches from contentScriptURL to contentScriptFile, and includes a README.md file that describes the addon and explains with which versions of Firefox it is compatible.

The platform fix landed for 4.0b8, which is scheduled to be built in a couple days and released next week.
