The MessageAlerts Plugin is a plugin for the Openfire XMPP server, which periodically reads from a database table, and sends alerts to JIDs found in that table.
This project is using the Maven-based Openfire build process, as introduced in Openfire 4.2.0. To build this plugin locally, ensure that the following are available on your local host:
- A Java Development Kit, version 7 or (preferably) 8
- Apache Maven 3
To build this project, invoke on a command shell:
$ mvn clean package
Upon completion, the openfire plugin will be available in target/messagealerts.jar
Copy messagealerts.jar into the plugins directory of your Openfire server, or use the Openfire Admin Console to upload the plugin. The plugin will then be automatically deployed.
To upgrade to a new version, copy the new messagealerts.jar file over the existing file.
To configure this plugin, the following properties are used:
messagealerts.from- The that is the sender of the messages. Defaults to the server address.messagealerts.frequency- The amount of seconds between each iteration. Defaults to 60.
