best java jabber client library

Question

What good/bad experiences do you have with java jabber libraries?

Solution

I've had really good experience with the Smack library. I found it straightforward to use, and pretty easy to get a basic client up and running. The documentation was pretty good as well.

+1 for smack, does the job, well-written.

We've used Smack (and Spark IM client and Ignite IM server) for quite some time - been very happy with it.

@alves There is an open ticket for BOSH support on smack and an branch on their vcs. Support from the community is always welcome. :-)
