Jabber (XMPP) Plugin for Maven

I've created a simple plugin for Maven2, which can send a message from the Maven build process.

//Update:// Plugin's page moved. For actual page and download links, see Plugin's page at the Insolvenční rejstřík site.

This is how I use it in the Insolvenční rejstřík project:

<build>
    <plugins>
 
      <plugin>
        <groupId>cz.dynawest.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>jabber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
 
        <executions>
          <execution><phase>initialize</phase><goals><goal>sendmessage</goal></goals></execution>
        </executions>
 
        <configuration>
          <!-- Format: user@server/password -->
          <loginData>pohlidame.cz@jabber.cz/${jabber-pohlidamecz-jabber.cz-pass}</loginData>
          <receiver>ondra.zizka@jabber.cz</receiver>
          <message>Project was built.</message>
          <runInThread>false</runInThread>
        </configuration>
 
      </plugin>
 
    </plugins>
  </build>

Documentation of respective configuration items are in the source and in the POJO.

I'll put it here for download soon. Come back in a week.

It depends on the Smack library (perhaps best Jabber/XMPP library for Java, from the creators of the OpenFire XMPP server). However, to make it work for the server we use – Jabber.cz – I had to patch the sources, otherwise I was getting a NullPointerException during SaSL authentication. More about the patch here.
