• net.sphene.goim.core.ui - Contains the basic interfaces for the GUI of the Instant Messenger as well as abstract implementations which can be used by implementors as a starting point.
• net.sphene.goim.internal - Implementations of a couple of net.sphene.goim.core interfaces - like event handling, chat manager & co.
• net.sphene.goim.internal.ui - Basic GUI implementations which is at the core of GOIM2 - like preferences, wizards (account management, adding contacts, ..)

2. How packet extensions should work

Every IPacket can have unlimited number of packet extensions -> IPacketExtension. These IPacketExtension are Adaptable and therefore don't need to expose any additional specific API.
