MC2 is a chat software written in java.
Unless the most chat systems (e.g. IRC) it does not need a server that delivers messages but works in a peer to peer way.
It has been specifically developed to allow chat in a lan using multicast udp datagrams.
Features:
- Cross platform (runs on Windows,Linux,Solaris,...)
- Multi channel support
- Chat and data Encryption support with Password Based Encryption
- File sending
- File sharing
- Private conversations
Download:
- Compiled jar: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mc2/MC2.jar
- Source package: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mc2/mc2-sources.zip
Running:
Once you've downloaded the jar package, simply open a shell (or command prompt), cd to download folder and type
java -jar MC2.jar
When the welcome window pops up, type your nickname and choose whether to join an existing channel (remember to push the update list button before) or create a new channel.
To create a new channel simply type the channel name in the corresponding textbox, and optionally provide a channel key (no key means free channel with no encryption).
After a few seconds the application will check if there is no nick or channel collision, and will advertise to others. Here you go!
