Hi,

Download Smack and make sure you put the smack.jar and smackx.jar files in your classpath.

Then, create a new class and follow the code examples provided in the Smack Documentation

You need to make a Java application to consume Smack API. If you need help with Java you could try this book www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/ that is online and is a good book to start.
