Hello,
I am not sure whether this forum is the right place to ask this question. I did not find a better and more relevant forum to ask this question.
I want to write a chat application. Does anyone know of a open source online chat application. I didnt find any on sourceforge/jakarta.
Thanks
A
http://httpcd.sourceforge.net but that's not fair, because I wrote it myself, and it's in C, so you may not have any experience with that. But I've also rewritten the thing entirely in java. Just wire me at keesATpinkDASHfrogDOTcom. It does realtime chatting in browsers without plugins or java applets, btw.
I am actually working on one to "defeat" the yahoo booters so that it is a full fledged chat program.
It "should" support Yahoo IM, AOL IM, IRC, ICQ, MSN, and others out there. It is a 100% plugin built application, built around a generic java plugin engine I am working on.
There will be a "protocol" plugin that each specific vendor plugin taps in to to send/receive messages, among other things. I have nothing on it done just yet, except the about box. ;)
I would love to open source it eventually, but I still need to finish the plugin engine and am stuck there a bit.
Let me know if it is something you'd be interested in. I'll watch this forum.
