Paho Git Repository structure
The Paho project is relatively new and the repository structure is still evolving. Here is the current structure and proposals for additional things that are coming along.
| Location | Description | comments |
| org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.c.git | MQTT Client Package - C Language | |
| org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.java.git | MQTT Client Package - Java Language | |
| org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.lua.git | MQTT Client Package - Lua Language | |
| org.eclipse.paho.apps.git | MQTT sample and example applications | right now, the clients contain their own samples so what is this for? |
| org.eclipse.paho.esf.git | MQTT Application Framework | is this an appropriate name? ESF = Eurotech so I guess we want a more generic name |
Future needs
Broker - this might be written in C (mosquitto proposed?), or some other language (Java/OSGi). So possibly need 2 trees? or would it be a separate project from Paho? (see discussion)
Samples. We should pull the C examples out of the docs and into the repository.
Utilities (Ian C mentioned a trace utility)
MQTT Wireshark plugin (there are a couple of them, incomplete)
Test suite / protocol compliance suite.
Additional clients (target languages? Python, Perl, PHP...?)
Further IDE tools
Discussion
- Paho may not only contain MQTT clients so having a org.eclipse.paho.mqtt. level makes sense
- should all of the client packages be under a .clients. tree rather than having a language-based split at the top level? (this would enable a parallel .brokers. tree with language-specific stuff in future)
