Can't even get basic funcitonality to work?

[Philippe DesRosiers]

I'm trying to write a "hello world" application that just sends a simple message over MSN. Here's the code:

    public static void main(String... args) {
        MsnMessenger messenger = MsnMessengerFactory.createMsnMessenger("myemail@mydomain.com", "mypassword");
        messenger.login();

        messenger.sendText(Email.parseStr("youremail@yourdomain.com"), "Hello World!");

        messenger.logout();
    }

But the destination account never receives the message. Also, after calling messenger.logout(), the application continues to run. I guess there is a zombie thread running somewhere? How can I create a basic app that 1) logs in, 2) sends a message, and 3) logs out? Seems like the most basic thing...

Does the source user have to be in the destination user's contact list? Or vice-versa? I'm working toward a system that will send automated alerts over MSN. Will I need all the recipients of these alerts to have me in their contact list?

you must wait the login completed:

email = "";
motdepasse = "";
       
MsnMessenger messenger = MsnMessengerFactory.createMsnMessenger(email,motdepasse);

messenger.addListener(new MsnAdapter(){
    @Override
    public void loginCompleted(MsnMessenger messenger){
        System.out.println("login completed");
    }

    @Override
    public void contactListInitCompleted(final MsnMessenger messenger){
        Email email = Email.parseStr("youremail@yourdomain.com");
        //if the contact exist
        if(messenger.getContactList().getContactByEmail(email) !=null)
            messenger.sendText(email,"Hello World!");
        messenger.logout();
    }
});
