Add a simple test broker to correo (as plugin) #73

Open farion opened 3 years ago

farion commented 3 years ago

To start up fast with MQTT, it would be nice to have an option to start a simple broker from within correo.

My proposal is to use Moquette as it is written in java and can be used embedded: https://github.com/moquette-io/moquette

Plugin must add a further menu point to tools "Local Broker". (new extension point required)
This will open a small window with at least these options: "Port" defaults to 1883, "Start broker on CorreoMQTT start", "Start"-Button. Maybe some more options like SSL and SSL-Port ... depends on what moquette is able to do.
As long as the broker runs there is a new bar above the tabs. "Local broker is running on port xxxx" + "Stop"-button (new extension point required). If the broker is running, the menu point must also change to "Stop local broker" of course.
"Port", "Start broker on CorreoMQTT start" must be persisted (use a dedicated file, as it is a plugin only thing)

@farion can I work on this issue next? 😊 If yes, could you please open a new repo for the plugin?

farion commented 3 years ago

@raujonas Sure you can :). Regarding the new extension point for menus given by plugins: @al-salah is working on EXXETA/correomqtt-plugins#2 and needs this too, so we need some coordination. As a second extension point is required for this ticket and I would only do one additional release caused by extension points I would propose to use a new branch together with these additional extension points.

raujonas commented 3 years ago

@farion @al-salah okay good to know, I think I could just pick these changes from the new branch (https://github.com/al-salah/correomqtt/tree/AsyncAPI_Integration_plugin) right?.

@farion could you please create a new repo for the plugin under the exxeta group?

ghost commented 3 years ago

@farion i also need a repo for asyncapi pulgin (:

@raujonas yes you can theoretically pick the changes for the additional extension points from there

@farion I'm having issues with integrating Moquette because JCenter is not available anymore: https://github.com/moquette-io/moquette/issues/565#issuecomment-776863649

I'm not sure how I should handle this now, there are some repos with older versions on maven central but they are not public. Could you please give me a hint?

@farion What about this: https://github.com/hivemq/hivemq-community-edition#maven Can also be used with maven, what do you think?
