[protege-discussion] Fancy multi-user-mode plugins?

[Daniel Holbert]

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a fancy plugin for multi-user-mode that 
exchanges extra data between the client(s) and the server?

A few ideas I've had for tab-widget plugins:
  - A simple "chat room" interface, for everyone logged on to the 
multi-user server.
  - A tab that displays the contents of the remote .pjrn journal file, 
to monitor modifications that others are making

However, I'm not sure if this sort of plugin is possible, because 
Protege's client-server communications seem to be abstracted away to a 
large extent.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this could be implemented using 
the existing plugin framework?  (Maybe there's a "sendPacket()" method 
that I don't know about, or something...)

Thanks!
