Making the XPI File
I'm having trouble making the XPI file for the Firefox extension. I'm doing it by using winzip, and calling the file "emptysidebar.xpi." I'm zipping up the folder that is in the emptysidebar.zip file that is provided on the website. The XPI file that they give works just fine, but when I try to make one, it states that it can't find the install.rdf file, even though it is included in the xpi file, and I placed it in the same folder as install.rdf.
Can someone give a walkthrough about how to create an XPI file, and where to place it? (if there's a certain place where it has to go)

Inappropriate?I'm using 7-Zip as my archiving utility, and the directions from the site Patterson linked to worked fine for me (See 'deployment' at the bottom of http://www.ics.uci.edu/~djp3/classes/...).
First I zipped up the contents of my Chrome folder and named it 'sidebar.jar.' Then I edited my chrome.manifest file using the data provided on the website (renaming 'emptysidebar' to 'sidebar'). For the last step, I zipped up the entirety of my application, not just the files the directions specified. So inside my sidebar.xpi archive, I have install.rdf, chrome.manifest, and the entirety of my chrome folder (including the jar file).
I hope that works for you :-\ -
Inappropriate?Thanks Bryant!
