Openfire is the best for the office environment (most features implemented, stable, great admin interface, generally just works). It is written in java, but don't hold that against it, as it has the singular distinction as being the only java app I have ever used that doesn't weep memory, pound CPU, or overall run poorly. Quite an accomplishment, actually. Of course, it may be a little more than you are looking for in the case of this project.Some of the other jabber servers have less features implemented, but would work just fine for what you have described (aka, broadcast, etc). Jabberd2 was decent when last I used it (a few years ago), and was all cli based conf files, etc, and use a much smaller footprint that the Openfire. We went away from it solely to get the expanded features that Openfire has (audit logs, more plugins, gui admin interface).As for libraries, I would check out the jabber.org site. http://www.jabber.org/libraries -Steve
Oh, and I almost forgot the best part of jabber is the store and forward type behavior. I don't know if it is what you want for your apps, but if a client is offline, you can have the server keep all the messages and send them to the client when he comes online.
