Is there an Instant Messaging API for Java?
I got to thinking on my way into work this morning - is there an Instant Messaging API for Java. I suppose it would help if there was an IM standard, just like there's an e-mail standard (SMTP). I suppose that Jabber is kinda close. Here's why I'm interested. There's a few things I get e-mails on now that are simply "notifications." For instance, Log4j errors, Anthill build notifications and comment notifications from this site. I'd love to be able to program these to call a more configurable messaging system - so I could set it to send me IM's or possibly even SMS messages (the problem with SMS is it costs $$ now). I suppose I could setup a Jabber server and use their API to send messages, but I'm hoping this is already done for me. It'd be slick to parse an e-mail address and based on whether it's @hotmail, @msn, @yahoo or @aol, it'd send it through the appropriate gateway. Anyone know of an API that makes with as easy as sending e-mail with JavaMail?
