Re: [paho-dev] Java MQTT Client GUI Utility & mqtt-spy

There's also a simple and incomplete port of the IBM Java GUI at: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/paho/1.0/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.utility-1.0.0.jar

I started that a while back to get a simple GUI going.   I still think that this approach is valuable in addition to the RCP GUI because:

1) it is 200k rather than 22MB, so is good for quick downloads and small platforms
2) it can run anywhere Java can - is not limited to Linux, Mac and Windows.

Kamil,

I see that mqtt-spy uses JavaFX, and uses Java 8.   The interface approach also looks nice.  It seems to me that all of these utilities could be complementary, and have a useful place in Paho, because of their different system requirements and GUI styles.  People always have different preferences for GUIs.  So personalIy I would still encourage you to consider contributing mqtt-spy to Paho.

In fact, Paho already got a client UI tool available for a long time which can be run as a eclipse plugin or standalone application (based on Eclipse Rich Client Platform).
But, it seems nobody has tried.  A screenshot here: http://pho.to/6ySi2

Hi all,

Following a quick chat with Andy P, he suggested posting a message
here to discuss, again;-), the idea of a Java MQTT Client GUI utility
(for Paho).

Over the last couple of weeks and months I've been working on
mqtt-spy. It's still far from perfect, so any feedback or help is very
much appreciated.

From start, my intention was to make the code open and available to anyone.

I believe you've been thinking about a Java MQTT Client GUI Utility
for quite some time, so the question is whether you still need or want
one?

If yes, I was wondering whether mqtt-spy could fill that gap, avoiding
duplication of effort, and potentially helping you when working on
Paho.

My goal for mqtt-spy is to create a functional, easy-to-use and robust
test tool for MQTT, Once all necessary features are available, I'd
also like to open it to other pub/sub protocols if time allows.

What are your views on that?

Cheers,
Kamil
