Yep, removing a roster item from a group is the way to go. I suppose a method needs to be added to remove unfiled roster entries though. Maybe I should add a method to delete an entry entirely from your roster at once as well?

Providing the ability to remove a roster entry at the packet level would be great.  Currently, I am using Smack only at the packet level because I already have a previous infrastructure that was using a different XMPP library before.  Thus, I am using RosterPacket and not the higher-level entities such as Roster and RosterGroup.

Currently I don''t see a way of removing a roster entry just by setting up a RosterPacket and sending it.  The necessary XML to remove a roster entry is something like this:

<iq type="set" id="roster_2">

  <query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster"> 

    <item

        name="Nurse"

        jid="nurse@capulet.com"

        subscription="remove">

      <group>Servants</group>

    </item>

  </query>

</iq>

Perhaps you could add a method to RosterPacket that allows it to create a packet such as this?

Thanks,

Aman

Sounds like a good suggestion. I''ll file a feature request for it.

I''m trying do delte a RosterEntry like this:

RosterPacket pack = new RosterPacket();

pack.setType(IQ.Type.SET);

RosterPacket.Item item = new RosterPacket.Item(user, nick);

item.setItemType(RosterPacket.ItemType.REMOVE);

pack.addRosterItem(item);

conn1.sendPacket(pack);

While running this code out of Netbeans 3.5 there is no problem.

But if make my project a jar file I get allways this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jivesoftware/smack/packet/Packet

Everything works fine with smack until I use that code...

(Class-Path is set to smack in Manifest and org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.* is imported)

Has someone an answer for that problem?

THX! Found my problem! There was an error in my Manifest. I don''t know why it work without that code......
