Free java irc chat software for linux

Wap-IRC gateway allows you to chat on IRC with any WAP-enabled mobile phone. It works by running the server program on a Unix-like system that is accessible over the Internet. It doesnt require phones which have programs written in Java.
I am Tomas Vilda, student studying at University of Vilnius, Lithuania. I started interested in wap when I bought my first wap enabled mobile phone. I searched for the running irc-wap gateway. But with no success. Actually, I found some, but no such, that I make to connect to specified IRC server. Then I found wapirc gateway written by Alan Cox . I tried it on my FreeBSD server. During compilation I got error, because of bad Makefile. So I compiled it by correcting Makefile and ran successful. My mobile is Siemens C55. To start using this wapirc gateway I have to make some modifications. They are listed below.
Enhancements:
- cgi/main():refresh included into main-cgi, saves us .htaccess and external wmlscript
- cgi/write_wml(): fixed bug in linked nicks with ACTIONs and * in there.
- server/parseinput(): Added /me Command for * ACTION in channels
- cgi/write_card(): get refresh timer from config.h
- server/removeallitems(): doing a list cleanup when disconnecting, so we can rejoin after quit without part
- server/print_out(): screenbuffer with latest messages, scrolling top down
- cgi/write_card(): reload on a regular basis, when not typing something in. New formular works on more phones, informative header
- cgi/wml_link()/wml_header(): wml1.2 compatible links/input field for accesskey element
- cgi/write_wml(): new linewise printout, italic makeup, nicks are linked setting defaultvalues for talking on channels and privat.
- cgi/main(): Expire header
- Makefile: make install

XHR Chat is a demonstration type chat script I wrote when experimenting with xmlHttpRequest. It never refreshes, keeps an infinite post log, and checks for new posts once a second.

XHR Chat will degrade gracefully if the browser doesnt support xmlHttpRequest, just so long it still has javascript enabled.

Java SOS is a set of configurable Java servlets for fast site building, including Forums, Chat, and Calendar servlets, etc.
Coldbeans Software* implemented next version of Servlets Office Suite (JSOS). This product is a collection of servlets and filters for Java(tm) technology "out of the box" ready for building web-pages.
What does this collection need for? You know CGI scripts. Many sites on the Net need interactive capabilities to request information from the visitors and respond them. Most of those use scripts such as Perl, PHP, etc. But this approach has some disadvantages. Namely, for each new request a new process starts on the server where the site is hosted which requires additional computing resources, slows down executing all job.
Servlets require only one process no matter how many requests are being handled. These need less resources. They are faster and 100% portable. There are great engines to run them. Here are some: JRun, ServletExec, Jserv, Tomcat etc . That is all true. But why are CGI scripts still used?
They are old good technology people got used to. There are a lot of scripts all over the Net. Unfortunately, the last does not go to servlets. Fortunately, there is JSOS.
JSOS plays the same role as a set of CGI scripts and can be used by webmasters for adding dynamic capabilities to their sites.
JSOS has got a rich set of servlets such as Message Board, Chat, File Manager, Calendar and many others. You can use them instead of CGI scripts to build your site. As a matter of fact, it is the fastest way to make a site serving for needs of some community and the easiest way for managing the site. Last version of components supports WAP/WML also.
At this moment JSOS is probably the largest Java servlets collection over the Net and continues to grow. With WAP/WML support JSOS is probably the first Java scripts set for the mobile world.
Who will use this bundle?
- J2EE compatible servers vendors. Having a rich set of components is an extra argument for their potential customers
- Internet Service Providers. Most of them currently offer free CGI scripts preinstalled for subscribers. Nobody do that for servlets. Why?
- Web developers going to replace old CGI scripts with modern approach.
- Customers who need support mobile users in their web-based applications
Especially, we would like to point your attention to the fact that JSOS can be used to build Intranet sites. Do you need discussion groups? Do you need back your developers with the common knowledge base? Buddy chat? Take a look at Coldbeans servlets. It is the fastest way to assemble your site/portal from Coldbeans web components.
All JSOS servlets are easy to use. They are configurable so they will meet your design requirements.
JSOS is free for any non-commercial use. Please read our license file.
Some of free servlets may have minor restrictions such as copyright logo, restricted set of pages, etc.
Enhancements:
- New components and code base updates.

ParaIrcLib is a small library for IRC clients, written in Java and should work with JRE 1.4 and higher.

Naken Chat is a public chat server written in C (originally in Java). Naken Chat project allows multiple people to connect to it and talk simultaneously to each other or in private messages.
The goal of Naken Chat is to be as small and fast as possible using the least amount of your computers memory with the most amount of features. The current size of the Naken Chat binary on a Linux box is about 38k after being "stripped".
Ive fully tested this program on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Windows 98 and XP, and MacOSX.
The Naken Chat server can be connected to through many different client programs including telnet, a Java applet, Windows clients, and J2ME Naken Chat Client for mobile phones.

Java Web Shell is a web based interactive shell-type environment written in Java.

Obviously, to use the shell, youll need to be using a browser that supports Java Applets, and this has been compiled using the Sun 1.4.1 JDK.

Head over to Sun and pick up the latest runtime enviroment if you dont already have it.
