Newbie Developer - Jive Helppppp

Hello my fellow developers. I am new to Jive and the developing stuff, so I wanted to ask a few “Jive related questions” to clear up my mind of any misconceptions I may have. I cannot obtain the open source myself as of yet, so I have a few question regarding this IM client.

  1. is coupling used …?.. and how can i tell that it is used by inspecting the source code

  2. is cohesion used …?.. and how can i tell that it is used by inspecting the source code

I also want to learn about the use of inheritance, use of interfaces, and use of design patterns within the open source before I begin. Any suggestions or help would be grateful and highly useful.

so I have a few question regarding this IM client.

just a correction, Jive Messenger is an IM Server[/b]

if you are looking for a client, check Spark:
