yaxim (Yet Another XMPP Instant Messenger)

yaxim is a Jabber/XMPP client with open source (GPLv2). Why pay for SMS if you can have unlimited messaging on your data plan?

yaxim aims at security, low overhead and keeping your server connection open. So far, it only supports a single account.

Check the yaxim homepage for latest news and downloads.

Build Instructions

yaxim is written in Java and source code is maintained in git. The official repository is pfleidi's, most development work happens in ge0rg's repo. You will need the Android SDK and ant to compile.

To compile yaxim, the following steps need to be taken:

# fetch source code from github
git clone git@github.com:pfleidi/yaxim.git
cd yaxim

# initialize submodules
git submodule init
git submodule update

# prepare android build (with subprojects)
android update project -p . -s
android update project -p ActionBarSherlock/actionbarsherlock
android update project -p MemorizingTrustManager --subprojects

# compile debug version
ant proguard debug

# compile release version
ant proguard release

Building without ant

If you are using a different build environment, consider the following things:

• You need to generate res/values/version.xml containing the build_version string. The template is in version.xml.tpl.
• Without ProGuard, the compiled binary will be around 30% larger.
