Nabaztag Server

This is my attempt at doing something with the sources of the Nabaztag connected rabbit.

The sources were released by Mindscape on 2011-07-27 and are available here: http://code.google.com/p/nabaztag-source-code/

Current state / future

The sources are nearly identical to the original, bar the switch from Ant to Maven. The single-class CommonDev project have been merged with common. The various config / property files for Violet test / production environments have been removed.

The project compiles, but the unit tests fail.

Unfortunately some components are missing that prevents one to really use the sources:

• The database schema is missing, however I was able to more or less retro-engineer it using reflection on the DB-mapped Javabeans (Check the net.violet.platform.datamodel.util.DBGenerator class for details).
• The modified XMPP server (I suspect ejabberd) sources aren't provided, which makes things complicated because the Nabaztag uses custom XMPP extensions.

You can check the individual README.md files in each module for details and instructions.

Unfortunately those sources are the old platform, the "green" one, and the provided sources don't contain the new interface (the "purple" one), which I believe was written in Ruby. There are a lot of things broken in this old platform since it hasn't been maintained, and it uses now deprecated URLs to third party services like the weather, etc.

So I'm not sure if it's worth trying to repair everything, since some components are missing, it's already deprecated and there seem to be a lot of alternatives started from scratch out there...

Maven setup

The only problematic point is the platform project: It's used as a dependency from vadmin and my-nabaztag, but because it's a WAR it makes things difficult. In a standard setup this WAR would be split in two project, a JAR with the common classes, and a WAR with the web app.

For now there's a hack on the pom.xml to generate a JAR for the project next to the JAR. Unfortunately it's not very elegant and doesn't seem to work well when running the project under Eclipse (WTP) + Tomcat (You'll have to explicitly add the platform-<VERSION>-classes.jar file to the classpath).

Dependencies

Some dependencies aren't available on Maven public repositories, and some other were old versions that aren't available anymore. You'll need to install them locally (They're available in the extra-libs folder).
