We don not implement group chat at the moment. We use peer groups to 
allow separate chat networks to evolve. For example a company that wants 
an im solution for a project would open a peer group and use that one 
for all it's communication.

AFAIK, There is no such thing like a standard. The JXTA chat as you 
propose is just an example application and has none of the features that 
are actually needed for IM. Can't tell about myjxta but AFAIK, it is not 
specialized on IM either.  Nevertheless, I would like the idea to 
implement a protocol for jxtaim that would allow the message exchange 
with any myjxta app, though I can't tell by now if that would be that easy.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them to the list. I 
will take your questions as a start to produce a small technology 
overview for jxtaim. This might give ease to the no-documentation RTFC 
situation - a bit.

BTW, have you managed to build jxtaim from source? If not, let me know 
where you got stuck.
