  • Do you mean an application written in Java that does this? Or a way to accomplish similar functionality using the Java programming language? – Antony Woods May 11 '11 at 09:24

Have a look at the Smack API which uses Jabber: http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/smack/

You can try socket communication, have a look at java.net package, where you can treat one pc as server Socket and another as client Socket.

At the lowest level you are going to have to use TCP or UDP for the message exchange as Java doesn't support any other protocols (yet).

You may want to have a look at the JGroups project, it is mature library that can help you create networked applications. It's basic tutorial actually shows how to implement a simple chat application.

Regardless of the language you would probably use some standard protocol like TDC/IP or UDP to exchange data between instances of the application. And yes, Java certainly supports those.
