Setting up an infrastructure for Instant Messaging" article series. In my previous tutorials, I showed you how to setup the Openfire IM Server and how to configure the Spark client in order to connect to that server. In this tutorial, I will show you how to add XMPP messaging capabilities to your own application. I will use the Smack library, an Open Source XMPP (Jabber) client library for instant messaging and presence. Smack is a pure Java library and can be embedded into your applications to create anything from a full XMPP client to simple XMPP integrations.

"The XMPP Standards Foundation is an independent, nonprofit standards development organization whose primary mission is to define open protocols for presence, instant messaging, and real-time communication and collaboration on top of the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). You can read more here."

"Apache Camel is a powerful open source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns with powerful Bean Integration. Camel lets you create the Enterprise Integration Patterns to implement routing and mediation rules in either a Java based Domain Specific Language (or Fluent API), via Spring based Xml Configuration files or via the Scala DSL. This means you get smart completion of routing rules in your IDE whether in your Java, Scala or XML editor. Apache Camel uses URIs so that it can easily work directly with any kind of Transport or messaging model such as HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF Bus API together with working with pluggable Data Format options. Apache Camel is a small library which has minimal dependencies for easy embedding in any Java application. Apache Camel lets you work with the same API regardless which kind of Transport used, so learn the API once and you will be able to interact with all the Components that is provided out-of-the-box. Apache Camel has powerful Bean Binding and integrated seamless with popular frameworks such as Spring and Guice. Apache Camel has extensive Testing support allowing you to easily unit test your routes. Apache Camel can be used as a routing and mediation engine for the following projects: * Apache ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed open source ESB and JBI container * Apache ActiveMQ which is the most popular and powerful open source message broker * Apache CXF which is a smart web services suite (JAX-WS) * Apache MINA a networking framework"

"The Qt SOAP project provides basic web service support with version 1.1 of the SOAP protocol. The SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) component recognizes the XML standard for describing how to exchange messages. Its primary usage is to invoke web services and get responses from Qt-based applications. These classes make it easy to construct, send, receive and process SOAP messages on the client side."

This blog host some of the good article on Java, FIX Protocol and Tibco Rendezvous messaging. I have shared Interview questions, daily tips, commands and approach on how to increase productivity and work effectively with these technology.

"The Apache Commons CLI library provides an API for parsing command line options passed to programs. It's also able to print help messages detailing the options available for a command line tool. "

Apache Axis is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") submission to W3C. From the draft W3C specification: SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses. This project is a follow-on to the Apache SOAP project. Please see the Reference Library for a list of technical resources that should prove useful.

ECF is a framework for building distributed servers, applications, and tools. It provides a modular implementation of the OSGi 4.2 Remote Services standard, along with support for REST-based and SOAP-based remote services, and asynchronous messaging for remote services. See the ECF Wiki for examples, tutorials, other documentation, as well as plans and efforts currently underway for future releases.

"Developers usually have their programs write log and debug information to the standard output during coding and testing. This results in a lot of text being printed to Eclipse's console view, often more than can be easily surveyed. Since at any given time, only a small part of this information is of primary interest to the developer, a tool which highlights specific lines or words can significantly increase the readability of this output. Grep Console allows you to define a series of regular expressions which will be tested against the console output. Each expression matching a line will affect the style of either the entire line or parts of it. For example, error messages could be set to show up with a red background, or integer values showing the state of a certain variable could be rendered in bold font. "

"Errai is a framework for building GWT applications Errai offers a set of components for building rich web applications using The Google Web Toolkit. The framework provides a unified federation and RPC infrastructure with true, uniform, asynchronous messaging across the client and server."
