java-client-demo

[vorburger]

As the new Vert.x api/ progresses (#53) and once #41 is resolved, then I would like to build a java-client-demo - a simple Java main() which remote connects to a Minecraft server, via Vert.x, and runs actions from our Minecraft API such as showTitle (so NOT as an in-process plugin).

I'm not clear yet how this remote API would expose events, such as when Player joins...

This could also be handy to build a kind of test suite for manual testing - I imagine something like:

showing title in Minecraft in a loop, are you seeing it? [Y/N]
running Minecraft command /time set day|night in a loop, are you seeing it? [Y/N]
making entity named 'Piggy' say "oink, oink", are you seeing it? [Y/N]
please open chat and run /test command
please hold an Apple
please right click something
waiting for event player join, and checking last player joined, please disconnect and reconnect

@edewit FYI

but how to make a "client" EventBus WITHOUT running an (incoming) HTTP Server?

probably need to re-use MinecraftVerticle and VertxStarter but without new ServiceBinder(vertx).setAddress(address).register(Minecraft.class, minecraftServerSideImplementation); ...

FTR https://github.com/sebastienblanc/vertx-java-tcp-eventbus-bridge ? (from @sebastienblanc)

so this would require sebastienblanc/vertx-java-tcp-eventbus-bridge#3

Or... maybe I'll try to do this without Vert.x? See #322.
