---------------------------------------
Hi [~matthieu-at-arkoon], [~BTellier],
Here's a link to the sample UI, I made for mailet edition.
https://cdn.rawgit.com/shravan97/web_game/5572b0df/mailet.html
Each of the elements with text in grey color are all editable. You'll just have
to click on them to edit them. For now, I've just hardcoded the first few
mailets from mailetcontainer.xml . Later, I'll be getting mailet info from
server side. This is just a minute sample of what I'll be making. I'll be
customizing it along the way. Please do suggest edits so I can improve it
further.
And also, I'll upload my proposal to this project very soon

> Key: JAMES-1932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1932
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Matthieu Baechler
> Labels: backend, frontend, gsoc2017, java, js, json, rest, sse
>
> James has to concept of mailet pipeline : for any incoming email, the email
> is passing through the pipeline the is made of matchers and mailets. These
> components allow to implement business rules based on some xml configuration
> and some java component.
> That's a great strength of James and a lot of people use it for this
> capability.
> Nevertheless, editing the pipeline and making tests is painful right now, you
> are left finding solutions like "edit xml, launch server, send an email, read
> logs".
> To ease adoption, we would like to make that process easy and fun by :
> * providing a web ui frontend to design the pipeline
> * given a set of emails, make it possible to visualise each email flow into
> the mailet pipeline to test it
> * define a way to express the expected results to make sure people can save
> their work into automated tests
> To implement that, the student must know enough about web frontend dev to
> implement a pipeline designer and debugger.
> She or he will need to know some java to implement server side logic for :
> * make james accept to reconfigure its pipeline at runtime to take
> modifications into account
> * design a protocol to stream debug data from a pipeline to the web ui and
> implement it server-side in java
> * implement a junit runner to be able to run some special mailet tests based
> on the work done in the web designer.
