=PW Core=

==Summery==

PW Core is the core component of PluginWatcher, which resides at the plugin core of the Firefox browser. The intended purpose of PW Core is to time how long it takes plugins (such as Macromedia Flash, Windows Media Player, Acrobat Reader etc...) to execute their calls and then report the runtime (in milliseconds) using the Mozilla Observer service to anyone registered to receive PluginWatcher's notifications.

==Release Information==

PW Core is part of Mozilla 1.9 and will be released along with Firefox 3. If you are interested in seeing the code please visit [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412770 this bug].

==Usage==

To make use of PW Core you must register to receive its runtime notifications using Mozilla's Observer service. To do this you need to know the notification's topic which is 'experimental-notify-plugin-call'. Below are a number of JavaScript snippets that would be useful to developers trying to work with PW Core:
