About the Distribution

The `smack.jar` file in the main distribution folder is the only binary file required for embedding XMPP functionality into client applications. The optional `smackx.jar` contains the Smack extensions while `smackx-debug.jar` contains an enhanced debugger.

If you downloaded the developer release, the full source of the library is included in the `source` directory and can be compiled using the build scripts found in the `build` directory (please see the README file in the build directory for further details).
