So I decided to go back and try this again after this newsgroup thread got a
bump, and I was able to get docshare working successfully over XMPP on an
internal openfire server. However, I ran into some bumps and I'm wondering
if possibly this could be fixed by a small change to ECF.
First, our servers at work have names like "blahblahWeb05"... almost all end
in numbers. our internal domain is ugly, too. so a server's fully qualified
name ends up being something like blahWeb05.bsg.something.ad.com
I set up openfire on Web05, and tried to connect to it from within eclipse
using XMPP with a username like mesher@Web05. this doesn't work becuase the
wizard won't allow server names ending in numbers. So I then tried
mesher@Web05.bsg.something.ad.com and this allowed me to connect. Using
this, I was able to get docshare working, almost. I could successfully share
a file, and the recipient would see my changes. But if the recipient changed
the file, the changes would not be reflected on my end. This appears related
to the naming stuff discussed in that bug; however, when I'd change the
server name in openfire's config to be web05.bsg.something.ad.com instead of
just web05, it would revert back to web05 after restarting openfire. I do
not know what that's about. Consequently, I wasn't able to get docshare
working completely successfully on a server with this numeric naming.
Then, I set up openfire on the one server I could find in our office that
didn't end numerically. i was able to successfully connect to it within
eclipse using mesher@bltrserver, and docshare worked perfectly, without the
need for the full domain.
Now, this leads me to suspect that if the wizard would just let me use the
Web05 server, without the domain, that I wouldn't ahve any issues at all on
the original server I tried.
Thus, my suggestion is to change XMPPConnectWizardPage's emailPattern from
this:
..+@.+.[a-z]+(:[0-9]+)?
to this:
..+@.+.[a-z0-9]+(:[0-9]+)?
which would allow servernames like mine to be accepted by the wizard page.
What do you think?

Hi Marc,
This suggestion seems completely reasonably to me. Would you mind
opening a bug for this?...and we'll attempt to get to it as quickly as
possible.
Thanks,
Scott
