Answer 1

You can access Pidgin (libpurple) through the DBus. For Java access, you can use this library.

Note that there is no single protocol for accessing all IM services: Pidgin is one implementation that comes the closest to matching your requirement (there are maybe others).

Answer 2

ebuddy can log in to facebook,gchat,aim and some others.
