JabberCommunicationStrategy - README.txt

19-Sep-2002 Stephen Potter, AIAI.

This directory contains the java source and compiled classes
for JabberCommunicationStrategy. This code implements message-
passing between the various I-X packages using the Jabber
protocol (specifically using the classes and methods of the
jabberbeans library). 
This differs from the original "jabber" protocol in that it demands
that the presence of the intended recipient of a message shows them to
currently be online (otherwise the message is not sent). A corollary
of this is that you have subscribed to the presence of all potential
message recipients.

In order to compile (& run) JabberCommunicationStrategy, the
following must be added to the normal I-X classpath:

jabberbeans.jar

For convenience this .jar file has been located in
<I-X base>\comms\jabber\imports\
