	: FLAP is a low-level communications protocol that facilitates the development of higher-level, record-oriented, communications layers. It is used on the TCP connection between all clients and servers.		: FLAP is a low-level communications protocol that facilitates the development of higher-level, record-oriented, communications layers.

	~~;JAR~~
	: A common format for distributing Java ARchives. All recent JDK distributions come with a utility called "jar", that allows you to create a JAR file. All tools and uipacks will be distributed in JAR files.
	;ICBM		;ICBM
	: ICBM - Inter Client Basic Message. ICBM is a channelized client-to-client mechanism. Currently the most user visible channel is used for Instant Messages.		: ICBM - Inter Client Basic Message.

	;Instant Message ~~(IM)~~		;Instant Message
	: The instant message tool allows a user to send a short message to another Instant Messenger nickname that is delivered directly to the users screen in near realtime. This is unlike Email which may contain larger amounts of data and may be delivered at a later time. The receiver may easily respond with an instant message back to the sender creating a semi-realtime conversation.		: The instant message tool allows a user to send a short message to another Instant Messenger nickname that is delivered directly to the users screen in near realtime.

	;Locate		;Locate
	: The locate tool allows a user to determine some information about another Instant Messenger nickname. The information revealed depends on the privacy settings of the remote user. It may be as complete or as sparse as they desire. If the remote user is not logged into Instant Messenger , no information will be provided. Instant Messenger will NOT display AOL profiles and currently there are no plans to add this ability.		: The locate tool allows a user to determine some information about another Instant Messenger nickname.

	: The Login/Logoff tool is an internal service of the Instant Messenger client. The tool is responsible for keeping the client connected to the Instant Messenger servers. This includes the initial login, any migrations that occur during a users session, and the final logoff.		: The Login/Logoff tool is an internal service of the Instant Messenger client.

	~~;Proxy Connector~~
	: A proxy connectors purpose is to provided the Java Instant Messenger client with a TCP/IP connection to the Instant Messenger service using a proxy server. Depending on the proxy server it needs to negotiate with, this may be a complex process. It is possible for third-parties to add support for any proxy, by writing their own proxy connector.
	;SNAC		;SNAC
	: A SNAC is the basic communication unit that is exchanged between clients and servers. The SNAC communication layers sits on top of the FLAP layer.		: A SNAC is the basic communication unit that is exchanged between clients and servers. The SNAC communication layers sits on top of the FLAP layer.

	: Tools supply the underlying support for talking between Modules and the core software. There will be one tool for each of the services that the Instant Messenger offers. Each tool can support many modules.		: Tools supply the underlying support for talking between Modules and the core software.

	~~Current tools are~~: Admin, Buddy List, IM, Info, ~~and~~ Login~~. Future tools may include:~~ File Transfer and Chat.		Examples: Admin, Buddy List, IM, Info, Login, File Transfer, and Chat.
	;TLV		;TLV
	: TLV - Type Length Value. A tuple allowing typed opaque information to be passed through the protocol. Typically TLV's are intended for interpretation at the core layer. Being typed, new elements can be added w/o modifying the lower layers.		: TLV - Type Length Value. A tuple allowing typed opaque information to be passed through the protocol.

	~~;UIPack~~
	: A collection of files that will change the look and feel of a Tool or Module. This collection of files can contain: images, sounds, layout information, and string. Usually UIPacks are distributed in a single jar files, but can also be split into individual files.
	;Warnings		;Warnings
	: A warning is a form of electronic vilification. It allows a user who has been affected by the online behavior of another user to express an opinion about that behavior. For more information see the Warnings FAQ.		: A warning is a form of electronic vilification.
