I have Openfire installed and I'm successfully getting a Jabber feed
from Twitter.
What I want to do is collect them in a MySQL database so that I can
easily process them with my application. Openfire has an option to
store messages that arrive when you're offline... But it doesn't seem
to do what I want. I'm guessing that as soon as I go offline, Twitter
stops sending me the Jabber feed. And if I'm online, Openfire doesn't
store the messages.
Has anyone solved this?

receive messages and write them to a database:

There are helpful instructions in the comments for how to compile a
plug-in written with the bot library.

Yeah, I was hoping to get it to work without writing a bot or
something like that, but it's looking like that's the only solution.
Thanks,
Andrew

Ended up writing a little bot in Python using xmpppy. Works like a
charm. Shame I couldn't get OpenFire to do it, but in the end it
wasn't that hard - except for some aggravating unicode issues with
MySQL.
