Get an established Jabber client and look how it works (I suggest getting
Psi and taking a look at its XML debug console to get an idea on the
XMPP protocol). Then, read the XMPP protocol documents (the RFCs) and the
active JEPs on the standards track.

As this is a lot of work, probably you simply want to get an existing Java
client and modify it to use SWT.

I find Smack easy to use but relatively basic as far as functionality is
concerned.
