delvh 9f517cfc6b Added better dependency injection mechanism and purified LoginScene 
one thing could for whatever reason not be avoided: Even though the
processors of the caches inside WriteProxy are initialized, they somehow
get "de-initialized" and have to be initialized again...

Envoy

GitHub milestone GitHub pull requests GitHub issues

Envoy is a messenger written in Java.
It is split into three separate components: Envoy Client, Envoy Common and Envoy Server.




Envoy Client:

This is the only part users are interested in. It contains everything to make this messenger work: the UI.

Envoy Server:

Envoy offers the option to download and host your own server over which Envoy can run.
This part will be especially appealing to institutions/organizations who want to self-host Envoy.

Envoy Common:

This part contains elements that both the client and the server need. It will be automatically part of either one (Thanks, Maven!).

Features

Envoy features a lot of things and many more are yet to come. Currently existing features are:

'Client' contains:

  • typical Messenger features (sending and receiving of messages, groups, sending images and voice messages)

  • typical Messenger feeling (displaying unread messages)

  • Appealing user interface (UI)

  • Programming

    • API to change default configuration
    • Advanced logging possibilities
    • Tons of Events to interact with
    • Detailed Javadoc to improve readability of code

'Common' contains:

  • the event system
  • the logger
  • Envoy-specific Exceptions
  • some util classes
  • the most basic datatypes

'Server' contains:

  • the database implementation of the data classes
  • the connectivity classes
  • processors to handle incoming events
  • Utility classes to check client version compatability and Password validity
