Plugins
The Java Telnet Application uses a pugin scheme to allow easy addition
of software modules to the whole framework. These plugins may either be
used to work on the data streams, display additional information to the
user or be bywork. A few standard plugins are provided with the package.
These plugins are desribed here.
| Plugin |
Remarks |
| Socket |
A most basic plugin used for low level communication with remote
hosts. It almost always needed. |
| Telnet |
This is the actual handler for telnet type communications. It filters
the data streams and handles all telnet options. |
| SSH |
For more secure communication you would rather use SSH instead of the
Telnet plugin as it provides a way for secure communication over insecure
networks. |
| Script |
The script plugin may be used to automate login procedures for guest
accounts. |
| Terminal |
This is a very important plugin as it is the actual terminal so you
can see what you do. It implements an ANSI/VT320 compatible terminal emulation. |
| Status |
An example how to write a listener plugin and display information. |

If
you would like to write your own plugins you should refer to the following
documentation:
| de.mud.jta |
| This package is the main package and contains information about
the plugin system, applet and application. |
| de.mud.jta.plugin |
| All the standard plugins are documented here. |
| de.mud.jta.event |
| The plugins use some sort of event system to communicate. Look what
evens are implemented already. |
