[Freeswitch-users] [contrib] a new java ESL inbound/outbound client

[david varnes]

Hi all,
I had a basic java inbound ESL client kicking around that I have used
in a couple of small projects over the last year.  I needed something
a little more complete for a new project so I dusted it off and made it
less incomplete.

It still needs more work and testing, but it certainly is usable right now.
I have tested it against FS 1.0.4 and latest trunk.

I have put it in my contrib area in svn in hopes that some may find it
useful:
http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk/contrib/dvarnes/java/esl-client
I would be interested in any feedback ...

Features
 * Apache License (ASL) version 2
 * Standalone Inbound client
 * Framework classes to easily create an Outbound socket client
 * based on Netty [1] nio library version 3.1.5.GA (previously was
   using Apache MINA, but this is easier)
 * logging via slf4j
 * only dependencies are slf4j-api and netty (both Apache licensed)
 * single jar which is a valid OSGi bundle
 * built using maven
 * eclipse projects
 * reasonable level of java docs

Still todo
 * Docs
 * Simple example apps
 * .. more in TODO.txt in project root.

There is no binary jar available right now since I don't know how/if
I can put files up to file.freeswitch.org.

In the meantime to build you need maven [2] installed.  If you are
unfamiliar with maven usage, I can post a simple howto.
