Simple example for NPAPI plugin

votes

I'm trying to find a simple example on how to write an NPAPI plugin that will be bundled with my Chrome extension.

The thing I need to do with the NPAPI is simply to run an already existing local program that I have the local path for.

Could not find any simple examples that will allow me to do this.

Running an existing local program isn't specific to plugins. I'd look into example plugins and how to start local programs separately, then put the two together. - Georg Fritzsche

The firebreath NPAPI framework seems to have decent documentation: http://www.firebreath.org/display/documentation/FireBreath+Home
