[jdev] Passing binary data (.wav, .jpg, .gif, etc...) to chat/IM clients ...

[Justin Karneges]

Use File Transfer (JEP-0096) as your building block.  You can send the files 
out of band (via TCP) or inband (over the XMPP stream).  If your files are 
small, you might want to send them inband for simplicity.
