Every connection has a <tt>PacketReader</tt> and <tt>PacketWriter</tt>. The Smack provides two ways to read incoming packets: <tt>PacketListener</tt>, and
packet reader listens for XML data from the server and parses it into <tt>PacketCollector</tt>. Both use <tt>PacketFilter</tt> instances to determine
individual packets. You can listen for incoming packets by registering which packets should be processed. A packet listener is used for event style programming,
<tt>PacketWatcher</tt> objects with the packet reader. The packet writer while a packet collector has a result queue of packets that you can do
is responsible for writing packets to the server. It takes <tt>Packet</tt> polling and blocking operations on. So, a packet listener is useful when
objects and converts them to XML before sending them over the network. you want to take some action whenever a packet happens to come in, while a
packet collector is useful when you want to wait for a specific packet
to come through. Packet collectors and listeners can be created using the
connection object.
