#162 Idea: Jabber integration
It might be interesting for users to integrate Jabber into Phex, so that all Alt-Locs show up as contacts (as it is done at LiveJournal.com ).
They could automatically be sorted by file (each file as a group) and additionally to that a Group for active connections and hosts in the host catcher, as well as a group for favorite hosts.
With that, adding a host a favorite could be as simple as moving a contact in your favorite Jabber Program into the "favorite hosts" group.
And this could revolutionize the way people interact with other people in Gnutella.
We've long been lacking really community features in Gnutella, and Jabber integration could add them.

Maybe this could be done using existing free Jabber Server implementations in Java:
http://www.tigase.org/ - seems to be fairly advanced and would be my personal choice. The only thing to think about is the GPLv3. To use Tigase, Phex would need to be relicensed from GPLv2 or later to GPLv3 or later (I just checked it, and every one of our code file is licensed under GPL-2 _or later_:
phex/trunk/src $ grep -A2 -R "GNU General Public" * | grep "version 2" | wc -l
1427
phex/trunk/src $ grep -A2 -R "GNU General Public" * | grep "any later version" | wc -l
1427
Other possibility:
http://www.codecobra.com/chime/screenshots.html - claims to e created for a server environment where the server has more control over who sees whom. Added also because I thought it might be interesting for the work environment of some devs :)

Also interesting might be:
* Decibel - real time communication service.
- http://dot.kde.org/1171659655/
* Akonadi - Desktop independent personal instant messaging data storage
- http://pim.kde.org/akonadi/
But I don't know if they can be used from Java.
