Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.

Java Bot 2.0

JavaBot 2.0 is a fully re-engineered implementation of the original JavaBot. Some of the features are as follows:

  • Plugin based architecture.
  • Multiple simultaneous connected screen names over multiple simultaneous IM protocols.
  • Built in support for AIM, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger.
  • Dynamically loaded line processors.
  • Rich development API for plugin developers.
  • Cross screen name/protocal conversation spying.
  • Cross screen name/protocal conversation initiation.
  • Cross screen name/protocal conversation interjections.
  • XML based configuration.
  • Full conversation logging.
  • Dynamically controlled console verbosity.
  • Optional ANSI console color.
  • XML web service based weather reports.
  • Optional remote access to the system console via IM!

The bot architecture also serves as a framework for creating your own Java bots. It's plugin based design allows extension with drag and drop simplicity. See Extending JavaBot 2.0 for more information.

You can chat with the bot on the following screen names:
AIM: B0HA (with a zero)
AIM: B0tk1ng (with a zero and a one)
Yahoo: Bjorn_P_Svenson
MSN: Bjorn_P_Svenson

To access the administration commands, send an IM to the bot containing the following string: #! Type HELP for more information.
