Re: [ecf-dev] ECF AIM project for GSoC 2008
|
Hi Tharindu,
I would expect an AIM provider would look a fair amount like the Yahoo
implementation.

Hi ,
I just build the projects from cvs and had a look. Is the AIM project
similar to the yahoo implementation you pointed to?

I'm based in Sri Lanka. Being a campus student here, I'm unable to
finance myself to come to EclipseCon or the BOF. So sorry about that.
I will check out the codes from CVS and have a look. Thanks for
the assistance.

Hi Tharindu,
First thanks...for your interest and your willingness to propose a
project. I think an AIM provider would be an excellent
project. I've
been wanting such a provider for a long time.
WRT project expectations for Google Summer of Code
projects...you can
see previous ECF Google Summer of Code projects listed here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF_SOC_Projects
In general, we would *like* to take the results of the GSOC
project and
incorporate it directly into subsequent releases of ECF
(modulo the IP
restrictions of using third-party libs, of course). We've had
great
success with this in the past, and I would like to see it
continue with
this year's projects.
One of the nice things...I would say, about creating an ECF
provider for
AIM is that once you do, your code will fit into other
ECF/presence
API-based applications without any further work on your part. Of
course, you may want to build other applications in addition
to the ones
that already exist.
Are you going to EclipseCon 2008? Perhaps if so we can meet
up and talk
about this project? Specifically, are you going to the Google
Summer of
Code BOF?
Below I've attached some references to existing/relevant
plugins...in
case you want to dive right in with the code.
Thanks,
Scott
Technical/Code References
Anonymous access to ECF core plugins: (via project set file):
http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/dev_resources.php
Also we have a CVS server at the OSU Open Source Lab or
experimental
work: http://ecf1.osuosl.org/
As a general intro to the provider codebase, you might want to
look at
1) A trivial provider implementation at this CVS location:
:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.ecf/examples/plugins/org.eclipse.ecf.examples.provider.trivial
This provider implements the two core ECF extension points:
org.eclipse.ecf.namespace (for Namespaces and IDs), and
org.eclipse.ecf.containerFactory (for creating instances of
IContainer). Your provider implementation (based upon ymcg or
other aim
library) will also implement these two extension points. You
will also
need to implement the presence API as an adapter off of
IContainer (the
IPresenceContainerAdapter in org.eclipse.ecf.presence).
2) There are other providers that implement the presence
API...for example:
Yahoo:
:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/ecf/plugins/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.yahoo
There are others, so let me know if you are interested in
looking at
them also.
