Spark does not use latest version of Smack library

Hi,

Spark  uses a old library of Smack 3.3.1. Is there a plan to use the latest one? It is a bit hard to get code of old Smack library and integrate that with Spark client to debug.

Also, can someone point me to the right steps to debug a spark plugin. I tried using these steps but it seems like the batch file is an outdated one.

1. Download the following file: (This location does not have the batch file, I took it from the latest source of Spark from github)
   1. Windows: http://svn.jivesoftware.org/svn/repos/spark/trunk/src/resources/startup.bat
        or
   2. Linux: http://svn.jivesoftware.org/svn/repos/spark/trunk/src/resources/startup.sh
2. Place in to %Spark Installation Path%/bin, for example: c:\Program Files\Spark\bin\
3. Execute Spark from the command line: startup -debug
