Description Scott Lewis

There is a JEP draft standard JEP-0106

http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html

ECF's XMPPID class should support this draft standard.

This would allow our users to log-in easier if people's ids were bound to an email address.

This would help usability a bit too... currently in the UI we get something like this:


(01:40:33 PM) zx\40code9.com: ping
(01:40:47 PM) karl.matthias\40eclipse.org: hey Chris
(01:40:53 PM) zx\40code9.com: ok, it is somewhat working :)

Hi...yep, the translation has to go both ways...and it will...shortly (working on it).

Fix released to HEAD and Release_2_0 branch.

Now, XMPPIDs escape appropriate characters (as specified in JEP-0106:

http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html

So in the XMPP/XMPPS connection wizards users may specify JID node names (i.e. username) with characters like @, ', ", &, <, >, etc and they will be escaped for connection to xmpp server.
