Java Instant Messaging Client

I coded a Java instant messaging client called AxeIM for a networking class. This program will attempt to find a user’s “buddies” and establish a network connection to them for the purpose of sending instant messages. This program is crude and simplistic, but demonstrated the fundamental concepts of network and socket programming. Obvious enhancements would be easier administration of user settings and buddy-list maintenance (rather than storing buddy IP addresses in a configuration file).
