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

+8  A: 

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.

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

I'm also happy with smack. The only downside is the lack of support for BOSH (XMPP over HTTP), very useful for clients behind corporate firewalls.
