Java code to send message to your gtalk friends

Have used a library called Smack (http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/smack/index.jsp)

import java.util.Collection;

import org.jivesoftware.smack.*;

public class GtalkClient {

public static void main(String[] args) throws XMPPException {
ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("talk.google.com", 5222, "gmail.com");
XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
connection.connect();
connection.login("< username >","< password >");

// Below is the code to get the users


// Roster roster = connection.getRoster();
// Collection rosterEntries = roster.getEntries();
//
// System.out.println("\n\n" + rosterEntries.size() + " friend(s):");
// for(RosterEntry rosterEntry:rosterEntries)
// {
// System.out.println(rosterEntry.getUser());
// }

// Here is a code to send message to a friend

MessageListener messageListener = null;
Chat chat = connection.getChatManager().createChat("shantanu.gg@gmail.com",messageListener);
chat.sendMessage("Hello this is a ping from a java program");
}
}
