Nope, will do later today. I don't have much faith in it though. It's very 
unstable at the moment (see some later comments - runescape crash for one in 
QueueRunnable, which is the place where you'd expect any problems since that 
puts the thread id finally to java).

Yeah, was thinking to copy NS_COMPONENTMANAGER_CID from some old archives I 
found, but I think LiveConnect through the component manager has gone.
This is the old CID as shown here:
http://rpms.alerque.com/BUILD/mozilla/xpcom/components/nsComponentManagerUtils.h

91775d60-d5dc-11d2-92fb-00e09805570f

Now let's try this:
$ find /usr/X11R6/include/firefox -type f -print |xargs grep '91775d6' |wc -l
	0

So, I don't think it'll ever get that CID in the first place and if it does, 
it'll return JD_ERROR, as that is the only place I found a hook for it.
