[JDEV] What about the resource?

[Chris Chen]

Normally, you wouldn't care about the resources cuz as the protocol specs 
said, when you send a message to a JID without the resource, it will 
automatically send it to the Resource that has the highest priority.. Thus, 
all you have to do is set different priorities and Jabber server will 
automatically take care of the rest for you...

You only need to specify the resource in the JID when you want to 
specifically send it to that resource.  I would think that normally people 
will just increase their priority depending on where they are...

As for roster behavior, you should store the same JID with different 
resources separately, but show it on the GUI as consolidated.. If they 
want, they can always set an advanced option to see it separately or be 
able to choose the resource to send it to..
