What is JamChat?
JamChat is a simple client-server communication service written in Java. The project is split into 3 separate parts.
The core client is a library for a user front-end to utilize. This contains the core methods for the program and lets the GUI or Terminal client front-end handle presentation and other aspects. This brings us to the second part of the project; the user interface. The user interface should use the client core library for its main functions, while handling what it does with the information from the core itself. The final part of the project is the server. As the server requires no user interface, the core is not a library and should be run by itself. The server should manage a list of known clients and handle connecting them and maintaining the connection between them.This project is designed purely as a proof of concept, and is heavily in-progress.

Client Mockups
These client mockups may be subject to sudden drastic change at any time. These are only to show a very rough idea of what I have in mind for the client front-end.
