+// Create the configuration for this new connection
+ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("jabber.org", 5222);
+config.setCompressionEnabled(true);
+config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true);
+XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
+// Connect to the server
+connection.connect();
+// Log into the server
+connection.login("username", "password", "SomeResource");
+....
+// Disconnect from the server
+connection.disconnect();
+
+By default Smack will try to reconnect the connection in case it was abruptly disconnected. Use
+ConnectionConfiguration#setReconnectionAllowed(boolean) to turn on/off this feature. The reconnection
+manager will try to immediately reconnect to the server and increase the delay between attempts as
+successive reconnections keep failing.
+
+In case you want to force a reconnection while the reconnetion manager is waiting for the next
+reconnection, you can just use XMPPConnection#connect() and a new attempt will be made.
+If the manual attempt also failed then the reconnection manager will still continue the
+reconnection job.
