I'm trying to make a chat application for Gmail on Java, but I couldn't find any API for this purpose. I was told about OAuth but I don't think it has any such feature. Please suggest me an API or help me use OAuth in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Google uses the XMPP protocol for its chats.

Gmail utilises a web-based version of Google Talk (GTalk). GTalk is a Jabber/XMPP-based chat system.

I'd recommend looking at a Jabber/XMPP library for Java, such as Smack, noted as an answer in this question; best java jabber client library

Google Chat, and Google Talk, use the XMPP protocol. You might find it useful to read the Google documentation here... https://developers.google.com/talk/
