Envoy


Envoy is a messenger written in Java.
It is split into three separate components: Envoy Client, Envoy Common and Envoy Server.




Envoy Client:

This is the only part users are interested in. It contains everything to make this messenger work: the UI.

Envoy Server:

Envoy offers the option to download and host your own server over which Envoy can run.
This part will be especially appealing to institutions/organizations who want to self-host Envoy.

Envoy Common:

This part contains elements that both the client and the server need. It will be automatically part of either one (Thanks, Maven!).
