[JDEV] Re: The easiest/fastest way to develop jabber apps?

Hi Rosdi,

Welcome to the Jabber World.

I would recommend taking a look at Exodus, a open-source Jabber client 
written in Delphi.

If you don't have any special need, you could easily create a branded 
version of Exodus, by following the below instructions,
