You will find here the XPart technology, as implemented by Simon Haussman,
|
||
|
|
Mathias Ettrich and Lars Knoll. Basically, XPart allows out of process
|
||
|
|
embedding. For more information, see:
|
||
|
|
http://trolls.troll.no/~lars/xparts/doc/xparts.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently XPart is more a proof of concept than a stabilized and maintained
|
||
|
|
technology. The only application using it is kmozilla, which makes the
|
||
|
|
Gecko html/browser (the one of mozilla) available as a kpart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The technology is not used enough to guarantee that the current state is the
|
||
|
|
best, so it might develop it further. Understand by that, that
|
||
|
|
_binary compatibility might not be kept between releases_ .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But don't be afraid by that. XPart is a very promising technology and the api
|
||
|
|
looks good for the moment. We do not plan any change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are developing something with XPart, please make yourself known to the
|
||
|
|
kde development mailing lists, so that we can help you and get feedback. I'm
|
||
|
|
working on a xpart notepad to show how to develop a xpart editor component.
|
||
|
|
This editor will be committed after the 2.1 release though. I am also working
|
||
|
|
on making vim available as a xpart/kpart component.
