/**
* The XMPPConnection interface provides an interface for connections to an XMPP server and
* implements shared methods which are used by the different types of connections (e.g.
* <code>XMPPTCPConnection</code> or <code>XMPPBOSHConnection</code>). To create a connection to an XMPP server
* a simple usage of this API might look like the following:
*
* <pre>
* // Create a connection to the igniterealtime.org XMPP server.
* XMPPTCPConnection con = new XMPPTCPConnection("igniterealtime.org");
* // Connect to the server
* con.connect();
* // Most servers require you to login before performing other tasks.
* con.login("jsmith", "mypass");
* // Start a new conversation with John Doe and send him a message.
* ChatManager chatManager = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(con);
* chatManager.addIncomingListener(new IncomingChatMessageListener() {
* public void newIncomingMessage(EntityBareJid from, Message message, Chat chat) {
* // Print out any messages we get back to standard out.
* System.out.println("Received message: " + message);
* }
* });
* Chat chat = chatManager.chatWith("jdoe@igniterealtime.org");
* chat.send("Howdy!");
* // Disconnect from the server
* con.disconnect();
* </pre>
* <p>
* Note that the XMPPConnection interface does intentionally not declare any methods that manipulate
* the connection state, e.g. <code>connect()</code>, <code>disconnect()</code>. You should use the
* most specific connection type, e.g. <code>XMPPTCPConnection</code> as declared type and use the
* XMPPConnection interface when you don't need to manipulate the connection state.
* </p>
* <p>
* XMPPConnections can be reused between connections. This means that an Connection may be connected,
* disconnected and then connected again. Listeners of the XMPPConnection will be retained across
* connections.
* </p>
* <h2>Incoming Stanza Listeners</h2>
* Most callbacks (listeners, handlers, …) than you can add to a connection come in three different variants:
* <ul>
* <li>asynchronous - e.g., {@link #addAsyncStanzaListener(StanzaListener, StanzaFilter)}</li>
* <li>synchronous - e.g., {@link #addSyncStanzaListener(StanzaListener, StanzaFilter)}</li>
* <li>other - e.g., {@link #addStanzaListener(StanzaListener, StanzaFilter)}</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* Asynchronous callbacks are run decoupled from the connections main event loop. Hence a callback triggered by
* stanza B may (appear to) invoked before a callback triggered by stanza A, even though stanza A arrived before B.
* </p>
* <p>
* Synchronous callbacks are invoked concurrently, but it is ensured that the same callback is never run concurrently
* and that they are executed in order. That is, if both stanza A and B trigger the same callback, and A arrives before
* B, then the callback will be invoked with A first, and then B. Furthermore, those callbacks are not executed within
* the main loop. However it is still advisable that those callbacks do not block or only block briefly.
* </p>
* <p>
* Other callbacks are run synchronous to the main event loop of a connection and are executed within the main loop.
* <b>This means that if such a callback blocks, the main event loop also blocks, which can easily cause deadlocks.
* Therefore, you should avoid using those callbacks unless you know what you are doing.</b>
* </p>
