[JDEV] Yahoo With Jabber

[Peter Saint-Andre]

The commercial MSN Transport was written as an external component on top
of the JECL libraries. Because it is an external component, it will
connect to any Jabber server that accepts component connections, including
jabberd, JabaServer (not sure), Jabber Inc.'s JCP, etc. However, the
commercial MSN Transport is commerical -- not available for free.

Your question about "transport versions independent from jabber servers"
was answered previously, but just to be sure, it's important to understand
what transports are. They are designed and built to work in conjunction
with a jabber server. There is no such thing as a standalone transport.
What you are looking for is, perhaps, something like a code library for
interoperability that you can use within an application you are
developing. An example of this is libyahoo, which is used by the
open-source yahoo-transport but which is a separate code library. A code
library of this kind is not a "transport" in Jabber terminology.

Hope this helps.

Peter
