AIM Provider for ECF
Abstract
ECF allows messaging protocols to be plugged in as providers. ECF has supports a lot of messaging protocols, gtalk, msn, yahoo and so on. But AIM isn't currently supported. First this project choose to wrap an existing Java library (JOscar), because It is easy to finish in this way. It is possible to implement the AIM protocol in this project.
Detailed Description
JOscar is an easy-to-use, robust library for connecting to AOL Instant Messenger from Java. This project will use JOscar to implement the AIM Provider for ECF. The main concerns are as follows:
- AIM namespace and AIM IDs.
- ContainerInstantiator for AIM Provider.
- AIMContainer and AIMPresenceContainer, AIMChatRootManager
- FileTransfer for AIM Provider(org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer)
- Shared Object for AIM Provider.
- Datashare for AIM Provider.
- some GUIs for AIM Provider.
