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 is the first stop towards fixing "SMACK-65: parsing should look for
depth", by providing the initial parsing depth to the provider. Some
methods (.e.g parseMessage) now use the depth as abort condition,
instead of a unclean String equals check.
parseIQ() and parseExtension() where both renamed to parse.
This also restricts the Exceptions thrown by the parse method, to just
XmlPullParserException, IOException and SmackException (not really a big
victory, but nevertheless a slight improvement).
StreamFeatureProvider is now gone, we simply use PacketExtensionProvider
for stream features.
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.
