Smack currently does unnecessary escaping of XML text, where it
escapes e.g. '"' to '"'. This bloats the stanza size, especially
if JSON payloads are involved.
Fixes SMACK-892 (although there are probably still places where
XmlStringBuilder.escape() is used when XmlStringBuild.text() could
have been used).
This moves the logic in AbstractXMPPConnection.getSmackTlsContext()
into the ConnectionConfiguration constructor.
Also introduce SslContextFactory and use it in
ConnectionConfiguration.
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.
If it is announced as feature, entities sending fastened messages
expect the recipient to react somehow on those. And this is not the
case if this is just enabled in Smack.
Hence we disable it per default and require smack users to explicitly
enable it after they have setup the according stanza listeners.
This also removes the powermock dependency. Although powermock is a
fine library, it currently prevents dropping Junit4. And since we only
use the Whitebox API of powermock, this simply replaced powermock's
Whitebox with our own.
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 not directly depending on Bouncycastle (BC), we avoid conflicts between
different bouncycastle versions. It is also part of the developers job
to take care that all required security primitives are available. If
they are provide by BC or some other security provider should not be
up to Smack to decide.
We now only add BC as test dependency to satisfy this requirement when
the unit tests are executed.
