[csjava-developer] Jabber chatbot framework

[Toby D. <tj...@sf...>]

Hi all,

Would anyone like to spearhead an effort to create some Jabber classes to
support the creation of Java chatbots?

Jabber is an open source instant-messaging system, and in the past I've used
Jabber as a project in a first-year programming course. We used the Smack
library (http://www.jivesoftware.org/downloads.jsp), but only for
human-human  messaging. A Jabber chatbot is a program that other humans (or
chatbots) can talk to. What would be useful is an easy to use framework that
lets people create and run their own chatbots.

Any takers?


Toby
