hi,
i was interested in creating an instant messenger, i've seen jabber,
but i can't seem to find any sample code to see what it looks like or
even if it'll help. basically i want to make an im that will connect
to the aol, icq, msn, etc... is jabber the way to do this, or some
other way?
Thanks.

Jabber is a server, not a client. The server (Jabber) provides connectors
to both Jabber and non-Jabber IM protocols. You then connect to the the
Jabber server with a Jabber client (using the Jabber protocol - which is
actually XML) and voila. I administer 2 Jabber servers, one has
Jabber+Yahoo and the second is the same with the addition of ICQ as well.

If you want to have a IM *client* that supports many protocols try
Everybuddy or Gaim. Source code is available for them both and is probably
more relevant than the "server" code for Jabber.
