joscar: Extensible open-source Java interface into AIM's OSCAR protocol

Name:	joscar	Vendor:	JPackage Project
Version:	0.9.3	License:	BSD
Release:	4jpp	URL:	http://joust.kano.net/joscar/

Summary

joscar is an extensible open-source Java interface into AOL Instant Messenger's OSCAR protocol. joscar provides an implementation of over 100 SNAC commands, nine different rendezvous types (including file transfer, direct IM, and buddy icons), and dozens of related data structures. joscar is a fairly low-level library and does not provide, nor does it intend to provide, an easy or simple interface to AOL Instant Messenger comparable to jaimlib. Instead, joscar gives the developer the opportunity to implement very complex behavior and features of the OSCAR protocol, such as rendezvouses (file transfer, etc.) and SNAC request ID management. In addition to data structures and commands, joscar provides a set of utility classes to ease using OSCAR from either the client side or the server side, as well as a highly extensible framework of command factories, automated packet stream processors, and much more. joscar is currently in a testing and documentation phase. In its present form, joscar is most likely not ready to be used by someone unfamiliar with the OSCAR protocol. While the library is thoroughly documented, a more general overview and tutorial will most likely be necessary for most developers unfamiliar with OSCAR to truly understand joscar and use it to its full potential. A tutorial is being developed and will be available soon.
