[jdev] New developer

[Sean Meiners]

As far as connecting a component to the server, have you seen this: 
http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0114.html ?  It describes the protocol 
fairly well, all you need to know beyond that is how to configure 
jabberd to accept the connection and specify the shared-secret (a good 
idea).

If you need an example of this at work feel free to pick apart an 
example I wrote a while back available at http://jabberwookie.com/ just 
grab the source and take a look at 
com.jabberwookie.tests.ComponentConnect.
