I am trying to program a Thunderbird extension, in which I want to use features from certain java libs. But because the TB extension is written in pure javascript, I can't figure out the best way for these two technologies to communicate.

I was thinking about something like sending an ajax request from TB extension, catching it with java server code and then responding to it. I know how to work with ajax and mainly intrested in "java part" of this problem. I'm aware that, this can be solved by catching request with servlet, but I want to know if there is any solution with "pure" java. Can anybody tell me if it is possible, or even show me some example code?

Writing an extension isn't just writing Javascript, you'll be dealing with Mozilla's XPCOM API. There is an active Mozilla project for using Java to communicate with this API. See here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaXPCOM
