Re: [paho-dev] Java MQTT Client GUI Utility & mqtt-spy

+1 having multiple GUIs is no bad
thing especially if they have a different focus e.g. running in Eclipse
versus running in Chrome
All the best

Java MQTT Client GUI Utility & mqtt-spy

OK so let's be clear on the two parts to this thread!
1. Our existing Java GUIs.
I had planned to do a screencast showing how to install
the Eclipse plugin at the time of 1.0 release but didn't get it done. We
need to promote it more; we might need help on getting it into the Marketplace
as I don't think the committers have previously been through that process.
We also have the client tool which is standalone / non-RCP
/ doesn't need Eclipse. Also not well promoted / known, lots of people
still use IA92 which is essentially the same thing but built on much much
older client code.
2. mqtt-spy
I love it, I think it's perfectly valid to include as
an alternative, and we'd welcome (I think) the contribution. Thanks Kamil!
Any questions for us as a team?

There's also a simple and incomplete port of the IBM Java
GUI at: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/paho/1.0/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.utility-1.0.0.jar
I started that a while back to get a simple GUI going. I still
think that this approach is valuable in addition to the RCP GUI because:
1) it is 200k rather than 22MB, so is good for quick downloads and small
platforms
2) it can run anywhere Java can - is not limited to Linux, Mac and Windows.
Kamil,
I see that mqtt-spy uses JavaFX, and uses Java 8. The interface
approach also looks nice. It seems to me that all of these utilities
could be complementary, and have a useful place in Paho, because of their
different system requirements and GUI styles. People always have
different preferences for GUIs. So personalIy I would still encourage
you to consider contributing mqtt-spy to Paho.

In fact, Paho already got a client UI

But, it seems nobody has tried. A screenshot here: http://pho.to/6ySi2

GUI Utility & mqtt-spy
Sent by: paho-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi all,
Following a quick chat with Andy P, he suggested posting a message
here to discuss, again;-), the idea of a Java MQTT Client GUI utility
(for Paho).
Over the last couple of weeks and months I've been working on
mqtt-spy. It's still far from perfect, so any feedback or help is very
much appreciated.
>From start, my intention was to make the code open and available to anyone.
I believe you've been thinking about a Java MQTT Client GUI Utility
for quite some time, so the question is whether you still need or want
one?
If yes, I was wondering whether mqtt-spy could fill that gap, avoiding
duplication of effort, and potentially helping you when working on
Paho.
My goal for mqtt-spy is to create a functional, easy-to-use and robust
test tool for MQTT, Once all necessary features are available, I'd
also like to open it to other pub/sub protocols if time allows.
What are your views on that?
Cheers,
Kamil
