Well, your one stop site is xmpp.org (http://www.xmpp.org) .
Jabber clients and server use different XEP's, which describe how to for example send smileys etc.
So you should probably check what your client needs, and maybe describe it a bit more here if you need further help.

Hello,

what I don't understand the most in your query is not that you don't know about XMPP... but that you say you don't know what is Java and you are asked to write a Java project? And about XMPP, haven't you been given a small explanation of what this is?
These are not so easy projects if you don't even know what you are doing.
