You might want to check out the Jive Messenger server. I believe they
added zeroconf support and might be thinking about making it optional
in their Smack client library...

I think that more than focusing on P2P Zeroconf IM systems (which is
something different than XMPP/Jabber), we should look on how we can
advertise the presence of a XMPP server (and its services like:
allowed
logon domains, supported authentication type etc) on the network.
I personally don't see much use of putting XMPP servers on a local
network.
P2P on the other hand seems a lot more interesting, and requires no
server to
be present at all. Moreover, modifying existing clients to do P2P
chatting
doesn't seem very hard design-wise: messages can be processed as
normal,
and presence should be transformed from the zeroconf way of
broadcasting
presence to an XMPP packet, which should be delivered to the client as
usual. The zeroconf part is the hardest part to implement.
Modifying it to use a zeroconf discovered server should be even
easier. Both can be useful of course. In any case DNS-SD is very easy
to use. I took me about an evening to hack something together with JSO
and jmDNS. (Since I have neither iChat nor Trillian Pro it is not
compatible).
What are the good Java based client out there? Any that support
multiple accounts like Psi does? I might take a look at it
