Instructions:

To build the plugin, just run 'ant' to create build/xpathchecker.xpi.

To run the unit tests, you will need to download and install jsunit (not included) and open 'test/test.html' from within jsunit.

The xpathchecker.ipr and xpathchecker.iml are configuration files for IntelliJ IDEA.

The build.xml file contains other targets for automatically installing the plugin in firefox, but they will need modification for anyone else to use them.

Plans:

I don't plan on making any changes other than to make sure that XPath Checker works with new versions of Firefox. However, I'll be happy to review any patches that you want to send my way. (It may take a while.)

Ideas:

I've entered a few ideas into the Issue tracker:

None of them will happen unless someone volunteers to do it.
