[JDEV] Some newbie send questions (w/ transport stuff)

[Sean LeBlanc]

I am a painfully new person to Jabber - I've looked through JDEV
archives a bit, and I'm trying to just figure out where to start.

Here's what I want to do: I'd like to only send a message to a user
on, say, MSN Messenger(really, any transport). I found documentation about
which port to use, but everything else is pretty confusing. What would the
XML that is sent
to server look like?

Any and all pointers welcomed, even if they are just RTFM's, as long as
there are pointers to those manuals. :)

I'd be using Java, so any packages/classes out there, that'd be cool,
too...or
even pointers to specific sections of C/C++ that do same thing.

Also, what's the status of the Jabber Java bean project?

TIA,
Sean LeBlanc
