[JDEV] CLI clients

[Mike Prince]

Try this on for size: use a Java applet.  I know it'd be easy to modify
a java library to provide a debug/trace window and a command line
window.

Downside is requiring a webserver to dole out the HTML and libraries.
Upside is it should run from most browsers.

On that note, what are the minimal and then somewhat useful command
sets?

Perhaps: 

Minimal = 
	open username password host [port]
	close
	send <xml...

Useful = Minimal +
	send <filename> (send contents of a file as xml)
	chat jid  (opens up a chat window)
	roster (shows the current roster)
	roster add jid name [group]
	roster del jid
	presence [<type>] [show <description>]
	subscribe jid
	subscribed jid
	unsubscribe jid
	unsubscribed jid
	probe jid
	log <rootnode> on | off


Along the same lines, the BeanShell (www.beanshell.org) provides a
command line interface.  Leverage one of the Java APIs and then you're
good to go :)  When I gear up for another release of my Yaja! Libraries
the beanshell will be the encouraged way to do testing.
