Now that FormWriter, with its write() method, is gone, there is no
reason the FormReader method should still be named read(). Renaming to
getField() as this is what DataForm also uses.
Apply builder pattern to form fields and replace getVariable() with
getFieldName(). Refer to the field name as "field name" instead of
"variable" everyone, just as XEP-0004 does.
Improve the high-level form API: introduce FilledForm and FillableForm
which perform stronger validation and consistency checks.
Also add FormFieldRegistry to enable processing of 'submit' forms
where the form field types are omitted.
Smack also now does omit the form field type declaration on 'submit'
type forms, as it is allowed by XEP-0004.
Those configurations where removed with version 1.13 (2010-07-12) of
XEP-0060.
This change is part of the effort to upgrade Smack's PubSub
implementation (SMACK-364).
Use EntityBareJid just as its done within PepManager. There is no need
for AsyncButOrdered in the PEP user managers, as PepManager already
takes care of that. Also the message carrying the PEP event should
always be the last parameter of the callbacks, as it is the least
important piece of information.
Returning a generic would allow for
List<ExtensionElement> list = stanza.getExtension("foo", "bar");
to compile (Note the we are calling getExtension(), not
getExtension*s*()).
Users are encouraged to use the type safe getExtension(Class<? extends
ExtensionElement) variant instead.
Fixes SMACK-825.
by using PubSubManager.tryToPublishAndPossibleAutoCreate().
This also swaps the parameters of the method.
Thanks to Guus der Kinderen for suggesting this.
Introducing Smack's own XmlPullParser interface which tries to stay as
compatible as possible to XPP3. The interface is used to either wrap
StAX's XMLStreamReader if Smack is used on Java SE, and XPP3's
XmlPullParser if Smack is used on on Android.
Fixes SMACK-591.
Also introduce JUnit 5 and non-strict javadoc projects.
