Jazilla Milestone 1 Released

Posted by timothy on from the practically-speaking dept.

mcbridematt writes "Many of the long time Slashdot readers will remember the Jazilla project to rewrite the Mozilla browser in Java. It went into hibernation in 2000 and I took it over last August. I have completely rewrote the browser which now follows a more Mozilla-like architecture. The Result: Jazilla Milestone 1 has been released. Download it from here. No prizes for guessing that it's Alpha software." Read on below for a list of what Jazilla can do, so far.

"Significant (implemented) features include:

  • chrome:// support
  • JavaScript implemented for the GUI thanks to the Mozilla.org Rhino engine. HTML Scripting coming.
  • GUI in part, uses XUL and W3C DOM
  • Written in 100% Java
  • Open Source
  • Uses the NetBrowser renderer, which is actually based on Jazilla-classic work."

    Um, no... Microsoft is Mordor. (Duh!) Sun is Isengard.

    Hmm. One hates to be pendantic... no, who'm I kidding, this is /.! One loves to be pendantic!

    Redmond is Mordor, BillG is Sauron. You know:

    One OS to rule them all
    One OS to find them
    One OS to bring them all
    And in the darkness bind them
    In the land of Redmond where the shadows lie...
