No, it's an IM hosting site, and a careless link on my part. The jabberd 
server is written in C/C++; I'd done some related Java client 
development and conflated the two.

I confess, I still get a kick out of the lmgtfy animation.

Yes, it points to these:

jabberd 1.x: <http://jabberd.org/>
jabberd 2.x: <http://jabberd2.xiaoka.com/>

which are the upstream sites for linux/unix repositories. I was using 
the 1.x server at that time, and it was particularly easy to install 
using apt-get on Ubuntu or port install on Mac OS. The DBMS dependency 
is configurable; I typically used MySQL or PostgreSQL, but at least one 
site used Firebird. I don't recall finding a client that could _not_ 
connect, which made debugging ours _much_ easier. It's not Java, but 
it's solid.
