I've had really good experience with the Smack library. I found it straightforward to use, and pretty easy to get a basic client up and running. The documentation was pretty good as well.

    +1 for smack, does the job, well-written. – skaffman Jul 07 '09 at 11:08
  • We've used Smack (and Spark IM client and Ignite IM server) for quite some time - been very happy with it. – Kevin Day Jul 07 '09 at 15:35

    I'm also happy with smack. The only downside is the lack of support for BOSH (XMPP over HTTP), very useful for clients behind corporate firewalls. – alves Jul 09 '09 at 09:02
  • @alves There is an [open ticket](http://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/SMACK-187) for BOSH support on smack and an [branch on their vcs](http://fisheye.igniterealtime.org/changelog/smack/branches/bosh/smack-bosh). Support from the community is always welcome. :-) – Flow Oct 19 '11 at 21:23
