I am wondering if it is possible to bring up the MSN application and chat windows from within a Java application using this library?
The scenario is this: in one of our JTables, users need to be able to right click a row and then a popup menu will allow them to select "send instant message ...". If this option is selected, then an MSN instant message window will be made visible for them to interact with.
Basically I want to automate the process of them manually logging into messenger, double clicking a messenger contact in order to bring up a chat window.
Is this something that this library can handle or should I be looking elsewhere?
Cheers, Jared.

This library implements the protocol, not the application. So I'm not entirely sure what to say as an answer except for; yes it can handle logging in, sending an instant message, getting the user's contact list, and that sort of thing, but you would need to write all of the gui parts.

Ok, thanks for that clarification. I have a little test program working and can probably work something out.
I must say that I like the design of this library, it's easy and intuitive to use. Nice work.
Cheers, Jared.
P.S. by the way, I had to drop back to Cindy-2.4.3 to work properly. The latest version doesn't have the SessionListener class and was causing a runtime error when creating a messenger object from the factory.

Well I can't really take credit for it. =) Roger is the original author of this. hehe I agree though, it's quite a nice design!
As for cindy, really? That's bizarre! I've been using it with cindy-2.4.4 in another app. Hrm... Oh oh wait... are you referring to cindy 3? or cindy 2.4.4?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Whew. =) You scared me for a moment. I actually upgraded the bundled cindy to 2.4.4 as of last release, which fixes some bugs I don't think JML even does anything with. Perhaps I should include a message about how you have to use the 2 series of cindy.

Howdy,

Cindy 3 was causing the problems. I've dropped back to 2.4.3 and it works.
Cheers, Jared.
