| <p> |
| Added robot API and extension points for creating robots that can chat via IM or chat rooms. See bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=180078">180078</a> |
| for details. This API allows robots to be defined via two new extension points in the new plugin <b>org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot</b>. |
| <p></p> |
| For example, here's the definition of an imrobot 'Fliwatuet' that will connect to the account at <b>fliwatuet@ecf.eclipse.org</b> and |
| then receive messages and notifications via the imcommand handler class <b>org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.DefaultIMMessageHandler</b>: |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.imRobot"> |
| <imRobot |
| connectId="fliwatuet@ecf.eclipse.org" |
| containerFactoryName="ecf.xmpp.smack" |
| id="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot" |
| connectPassword="password"/> |
| </imRobot> |
| </extension> |
| |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.imMessageHandler"> |
| <handler |
| imRobotId="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot" |
| class="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.imbot.MyIMMessageHandler"> |
| </handler> |
| </extension> |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p></p> |
| Here's an example for use of the chatroomrobot extension point for connecting to an IRC channel: |
| |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.chatRoomRobot"> |
| <chatRoomRobot |
| chatRoom="#eclipse-ecf" |
| connectId="irc://slewis2_@irc.freenode.net" |
| containerFactoryName="ecf.irc.irclib" |
| id="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.ircbot"> |
| </chatRoomRobot> |
| </extension> |
| |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.chatRoomMessageHandler"> |
| <handler |
| chatRoomRobotId="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.ircbot" |
| class="org.eclipse.ecf.presence.bot.MyChatRoomMessageHandler"> |
| </handler> |
| </extension> |
| </pre> |

| servers, RCP apps, eRCP, and/or Eclipse. |
