97669 - New embedding components for browser product

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Chris McAfee]

Embedding team has been living with sub-standard components for
a while, here are 3 changes that we think will get us through
the next sets of milestones better:

change, to be consistant with other embed components:

  Embedding APIs  -> Embedding: APIs

new:

  Embedding: Mac
  Embedding: General

The API change is a minor change, if this requires lots of sql
hoopla then we can punt on it.

Thanks, -Chris

Filed 3 new galeon tracker bugs today, had to use "emdedding api"
component for lack of a better choice.  Any eta here for getting
this done?

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

I need descriptions, default assignees and default QA contacts for the two new
Components. I made the chage to the Embedding APIs Component name.

[Chris McAfee]

Asa, ah yes, good point.  Jud, can you help here?

I'm confused, Galeon is related to GTK why not make it use the current gtk 
embedding component?

random proposals:
Mac
owner: Conrad Carlen [e-mail] 
qa: John Morrison [e-mail]
desc:
This is the embedding application demonstrating how to embed gecko in 
applications on MacOS. This is example wraps gecko using PowerPlant.

general:
o: adamlock, qa: valeski

This is the catchall component for embedding concerns, if the issue does not 
relate specifically to any implementation w/ a component or apis then file it 
here (eg BeOS embedding)

[Judson Valeski]

please don't put me down for qa. check w/ michael dunn ([e-mail]) for
that piece.

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

I'll make additional changes when you all get it sorted out what they are :)

Comment 7

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

We have now:

Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper
Embedding: APIs
Embedding: Docshell
Embedding: GTK Widget
Embedding: Mac

We don't have an Embedding: General  What would this Component have as a
description, who would be default Assignee and default QA Contact?

We're still missing Embedding: Photon :-), and I think someone was working 
on beos embedding ...

resolving as fixed since there doesn't seem to be any demand for more components.
