From ejabberd 0.9.8's release notes:
"To ease the work of Jabber/XMPP developers, a filter_packet hook has been 
added. As a result it is possible to develop plugins to filter or modify 
packets flowing through ejabberd."
( http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/releases/release_0.9.8.html#Development+API )

Some useful resources to start with Erlang are listed on 
availablehttp://ejabberd.jabber.ru/erlang (remark that you also can write 
plugins with Java or C code).

In the latter case, it might be more easy to learn a bit Erlang ;-)
