While markdown is easier to write, Smack's markdown documentation was
never tightly coupled with the source. For example, the markdown
documentation never provided links to the actual Java classes and
methods. This poses the risk that the documentation and the code
diverge over time. Furthermore, javadoc is constantly improving (for
example @snippet annotations) and I expect that one will be able to
write javadoc in markdown.
Fixes SMACK-928.
XmlPullParser.getName() only returns a result if the current parser
event is START_ELEMENT or END_ELEMENT. If this is not the case, then
the method may throw (if StAX is used).
ExtensionElement is now a marker interface that requires all
implementation non-abstract classes to carry a static final QNAME
field (of type QName). This is verified by a new unit test.
Also FullyQualifiedElement is renamed to simply XmlElement. XmlElement
is used over ExtensionElement when implementing classes do not
statically know the qualified name of the XML elements they
represent. In general, XmlElement should be used sparingly, and every
XML element should be modeled by its own Java class (implementing
ExtensionElement).
This also resulted in a refactoring of the Providers and parsing
Exceptions. NumberFormatException and ParseException can now be thrown
directly, the wrapping in a SmackParsingException is down at a higher
layer, i.e. in AbstractProvider.
Instead of passing the passphrase back to the user via a
DisplayBackupCodeCallback, we directly return the passphrase
which is now represented by a class.
Also we now allow the user to provide the passphrase.
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.
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.
and FileTestUtil in favor of commons-io. This is required because
Eclipse won't put src/test code into the classpath of src/main
code (even though gradle was configured with an according
dependency).
there is no reason why we want to store the bytes of the base64
encoded string. Simply store the string itself.
Also add a convenience method to get the decoded bytes of the PubKey.
- Reduce the amount of types that are subtypes of NamedElement. See
javadoc of NamedElement for rationale.
- Work more with XmlEnvironment in XmlStringBuilder.
- Some minor changes to XmlStringBuilder API.
