Usage - Use Soluvas's Repository

In Maven project

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>soluvas-public-snapshots</id>
        <url>http://nexus.bippo.co.id/nexus/content/repositories/soluvas-public-snapshots/</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.alicebot.ab</groupId>
        <artifactId>ab</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

In Gradle project

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'http://nexus.bippo.co.id/nexus/content/repositories/soluvas-public-snapshots/'
    }
}

dependencies {

    compile 'org.alicebot.ab:ab:4.0.4-SNAPSHOT'

}

Usage - Build Yourself

1. Build using Maven to your local Maven repository:

    mvn -DskipTests install
   

2. Use in your Maven project:

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.alicebot.ab</groupId>
            <artifactId>ab</artifactId>
            <version>4.0.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
   

   or Gradle project:

    dependencies {
   
        compile 'org.alicebot.ab:ab:4.0.4-SNAPSHOT'
   
    }
   

TODO

1. Build entirely with Maven, without embedded JARs in project sources [done]
2. Replace System.out.println with SLF4J logging [done]
3. Replace ex.printStackTrace(); with detailed Exception [partial]
4. Replace commons-logging dependency with SLF4J 1.6/1.7 [done]
5. -Allow loading bot data files from classpath- (too complex, and probably non-performant in Android anyway, alternative: extract the bot ZIP file to @getCacheDir()@)
6. Replace json dependency with jackson 2.2
7. Run well with Android Gingerbread (API 9)
