The advantage of this licence is that it both retains the enhanced debugging, customisation, risk-mitigation, and community development of Free/Open Source software (its most important features IMHO), while making it practical for developers to earn a living directly from their software (or their documentation writing, or their marketing nous). You can release your own modified or unmodified version, and charge what you like, as long as you keep the same licence, which means complying with point 2 and forwarding AUD $20 to me for each production installation.
Java for mozilla firefox browser update#
This extension and its associated Java library are licensed under Version 1 of the DevWheels Licence. But, besides the obvious advantage for UIs already written as Applets, the remote procedure call and remote DOM manipulation paradigm of JSJBridge/LiveConnect, and the automatic start-stop synchronisation of the front and back ends, can continue to make this an easy, efficient, fast, and powerful solution. This does have the advantage of weak coupling, allowing the backend and frontend to be separately developed, and simultaneously accessed from multiple browsers. The alternative to using this extension to turn a browser into a Java user interface would be to write the Java Program as a backend API, and have the browser frontend interact with this via Ajax/XMLHttpRequest calls, perhaps under a framework such as React. Display of Applet graphics may be supported in the future. This Firefox extension and Java library allows Applets which display no graphics but only interact with JavaScript and the DOM to continue to be used on current browser and Java versions with minor changes on both the Java and JavaScript sides. Continued use of them requires use of an older browser version, and soon an older Java version. However both the Java Plugin and Applets are now being deprecated as security and browser-stability risks. This was in addition to the ability of Applets to display their graphics in a rectangle on their webpages. The Java browser Plugin provided an easy way for Java programs, configured as Applets, to manipulate webpages, and for the webpages to both get and set Java fields and call Java methods via the LiveConnect API. A web browser is a good user interface for a native application.
