I’m trying to get basic app to work and am having problems.

import org.jivesoftware.smack.ConnectionConfiguration;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("server", 5222);
    XMPPConnection con = new XMPPConnection(config);
                       
    try {
        con.connect();
        con.login("username","pass");
    } catch (XMPPException e) {
        System.out.println("Error while attempts to connect with server");
    }
}

}
