[JDEV] Jabber Applet GroupChat Problems!

[Greg Wong]

I'll take a swipe at the conferencing stuff.
Always wanted to learn java :)

I'll let this mailing list know once I get something that works.
No ETA...working on other stuff too (that pays -- gotta pay the bills
first).

- If you start from the CVS checkout of the 'new' JabberApplet, 
- it is somewhat
- closer to having the new 'Conference' service (replacement for the old
- GroupChat functions) than other versions.
- 
- 
- Functional 'group chat' to a 1.4 server from JabberApplet is 
- something that
- many people (including myself.) desire, but so far nobody has 
- put in the
- effort to make the changes to the code.
- 
- I know just barely enough about Java to recompile the 
- JabberApplet.jar, so
- I am a good candidate to test new versions, but not to write 
- the code...

- This is correct, in that the new 'Conference' function is not 
- backwards
- compatible with the old 'Group Chat module'. Basically, there 
- were three
- versions:
- 		Groupchat	1.0
- Experimental	iq:groupchat	1.1	aka 'conferencing' from CVS
- 		Conference	1.4
- 
- The catch is, Conference / 1.4 does not support the 
- experimental 1.1 version.
