So the top layer is mozilla.com specific messages.js - Exists for L10n

The bottom two layers should be reusable.

Edit js files run tests/unit.html, pfs2_json.html, via file system or local web server.

For maximum fun, setup mozilla.com, plugindir, and make this directory available via a local web server.

Integration test

Setup the plugindir server, which has a PFS2 api http://github.com/lmorchard/plugindir then run it's tests to populate the database with test data

In this project, run tests/integration.html via a local web server for end to end integration tests. make sure your pfs2 database has the Foobar plugin data.

1. Edit DIST_DIR and PERFIDIES env variables in build.conf
