Use Java.Net Library to create a Chat Server

Directions are provided below

Check next page for code sample

When the bots connected to the group chat it should read the messages and when a message matches a command it respond accordingly. This means if someone says Weather 75080 it should return parse the words and query the weather API and return the information in a IRC-friendly format (The weathers going to be X with a high of Y and a low of Z.

Use command phrases that trigger a response

Weather 75080

Hows the weather in 75080?

Use your wrapper and respond accordingly.

It doesnt have to use Natural Language Processing, keywords is fine
