I watched the great demo of the XMPP server plugin for RHQ from Rafael Chies. Rafael is using a custom DSL to query the RHQ server for information but I thought that that really shouldn’t be necessary - it should be possible to use an ordinary CLI session behind this. Granted - the "query language" of our remote API is more complicated than the simple DSL Rafael is using but at the same time, the API we use in the CLI is much more feature rich and I wouldn’t have to reimplement any of it if I was able to "blend" the CLI session with the XMPP chat.
