This simplifies code as there is no longer a distinction between
"normal" providers and introspection providers in ProviderManager
necessary.
It's also easier to get an idea where introspection is used for parsing.
This is actually only part one, i.e. with this commit if the user adds a
PacketExtension to an IQ it will be included in IQ.toXml(). Which was
previously only the case if the IQ subclass explicitly included packet
extensions.
The second part of the change is to change the IQ provider, so that
packet extensions are automatically parsed.
Cases where PacketExtensions are used for Message and IQ are slightly
changed. The IQ sublcass now only has a field with this
PacketExtension (see for example
bytestreams.ibb.packet.DataPacketExtension).
Also changed hoxt API: Removed unnecessary indirection and made the
API more Smack idiomatic.
Adopt to common design patterns in Smack:
- getFrom(Packet) in Packetextensions
- INSTANCES.put() in getInstanceFor()
- ELEMENT instead of ELEMENT_NAME
- Use XmlStringBuilder
instead of using the old baseName=smack appendix=project.name approach,
we are now going convention over configuration and renaming the
subprojects directories to the proper name.
Having a prefix is actually very helpful, because the resulting
libraries will be named like the subproject. And a core-4.0.0-rc1.jar is
not as explicit about what it actually *is* as a
smack-core-4.0.0-rc1.jar.
