About

PircBot' (this project; pronounced "PircBot prime") is a framework for writing IRC bots in Java. In particular, this project is a fork of jibble.org's PircBot (version 1.5.0). This project adds to PircBot:

• SSL support
• The ConfigurablePircBot class, allowing IRC bots to be configured easily
• A build system using Apache Ant and Apache Ivy
• Other minor improvements

News in 1.7.0

• Uses slf4j with log4j as backend (exclude to use different logger)
• Split the root object and event handler (new IIrcEventHandler interface and IrcProtocolEventHandler base class)
• Classes split into packages (e.g. User is now in .beans.User)

Usage

To add PircBot to your Maven project, add this dependency and repository:

    <dependency>
