• It is natural to have several chat rooms. It is easy to implement - each room should be represented with a new RPZone. You will need new actions for room creation (you automatically join a newly created room), joining a room and leaving a room. Server should delete empty rooms at once.
• The turn stamps on the messages are not used currently. Actually, server should keep some fixed amount of messages per room (say, 100). Clients should use turn stamps to sort messages.
• Connect button for Swing client should bring up a dialog with connection properties, e.g. hostname, port, username, password, email (if you create a new account).
