This is a fork of https://github.com/rampatra/jbot which updates key dependencies of library to resolve security concerns. The core focus is for use in Slack bots.

JBot is a java framework (inspired by Howdyai's Botkit) to make Slack and Facebook bots in minutes. It provides all the boilerplate code needed so that you can make your bot live right away.

Running your SlackBot is just 4 easy steps:

1. Clone this project $ git clone https://github.com/snowplow-devops/jbot.git.
2. Create a slack bot and get your slack token.
3. Paste the token in application.properties file.
4. Run the example application by running JBotApplication in your IDE or via commandline:

   $ cd jbot
   $ mvn clean install
   $ cd jbot-example
   $ mvn spring-boot:run

You can now start talking with your bot ;)

Setup your local settings.xml in ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml and paste the following in:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <localRepository>${user.home}/.m2/repository</localRepository>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>cloudsmith</id>
      <username>ADD</username>
      <password>ADD</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

Note: You need access to CloudSmith for this section.

1. Bump version in the root pom.xml and within the jbot and jbot-example modules (they should all match)
2. Ensure all tests pass with mvn clean install
3. Run mvn deploy
