Writing Cisco Jabber (client) Plugins
Answer
12/14/12 8:41 PM
I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to find information about writing plugins for the Cisco Jabber client.  I'm not trying to embed anything into an application... I'm trying to extend the capability of the Jabber client produced by Cisco.  I assume this is possible, because there seem to be plugins associated with that client.  All I can find on this site is info and APIs for modding my OWN applications.  Is there a way to create plugins for Cisco Jabber?  Can you point me to info/APIs/examples?
 
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
There is no so call native SDK that allows you to extend the functionalities that Jabber client has provide at this point. There are some customizable features within Jabber client such as customed tag (Windows only), cross-launching, etc.

  There are a couple of options available in Jabber for Windows.  Firstly, if you have web pages, you can use protocol handlers to launch Jabber functions.

You can then extend the Jabber functionality by adding extra tabs on the left (under call history, voicemails etc.).  To do this, you basically embed HTML/CSS into the client.  There is more information about "Custom Embedded Tabs" here:
