Personally, I am happy to adopt
Mosquitto as the MQTT server 'brand'. Really Small Message Broker
was a name coined for IBM alphaWorks. The requirements for such
names are that they are descriptive more than memorable, so that
no or limited trademark search was required, so I always felt it
was a stop gap name. (The original name was nanobroker, but that
trademark was already owned).
I am also happy to have the server code under Paho, as that would
solve my testing 'problem' too. That is, to test the clients, we
need a server to test against. If we build a both server and
clients as part of the Paho, then it makes it easier to test both
clients and server. (I thought that Roger had indicated that some
other location had been discussed for Mosquitto).

Here is a suggestion. It is just a suggestion! Hopefully it

. Put the server code in a separate component or sub-project
under Paho. As you suggested, putting both in the same
repository and merging them gradually makes sense.
. I think that there is value in the Mosquitto name. How
would people feel about adopting that as the MQTT server
"brand"?
I personally see no value in putting M2M runtimes in the
EclipseRT project. Top-level projects are intended to group
communities of interest, and there is no need to be pedantic
about their scope.
If a Java implementation showed up later, they would be
welcomed. As would Python, PHP or C#. It would be a nice
problem to have.

Hello all,
both Roger and I are closer to being able to contribute our
MQTT servers, Mosquitto and RSMB. Roger has been talking to
Mike Milinkovich about the right place for an MQTT server. I
admit, that this question had not occurred to me before, I had
assumed that RSMB/Mosquitto would be contributed to Paho.
Questions
1) In which project should an MQTT server be placed? The RT
project is for runtimes, but focussed on Java technology
(Equinox/OSGi). M2M top level project, should it exist?
2) If both RSMB and Mosquitto code were contributed, how would
we manage them? One thought: have both codebases in a
separate structure in the same source repository, then any
merging of function can take place as required, no rush.
There is a difference between code being in a repository, and
a component being released.
3) If someone contributed a Java MQTT server at some later
date, which might be a better fit for Eclipse as a whole,
would that cause us any problem? I hope not.
