# Smack Readme

version: | @version@
released: | @releasedate@

Thank you for downloading Smack! This version of Smack is compatible with JVMs @targetCompatibility@ or higher. Using a build system which is able to consume Maven artifacts, like gradle or Maven, is highly recommended when using Smack.

This is not the real README. Please visit

https://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/smack/readme
for the README of the current stable Smack version.

Smack tries to depend on as few as possible libraries. The only requirement is jXMPP. For DNS resolution we recommend to use MiniDNS.

Start off by viewing the documentation that can be found in the "documentation" directory included with this distribution.

Further information can be found on the Smack website. If you need help using or would like to make contributions or fixes to the code, please visit the online forum.
