/**
 * A group chat invitation packet extension, which is used to invite other
 * users to a group chat room. To invite a user to a group chat room, address
 * a new message to the user and set the room name appropriately, as in the
 * following code example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * Message message = new Message("user@chat.example.com");
 * message.setBody("Join me for a group chat!");
 * message.addExtension(new GroupChatInvitation("room@chat.example.com"););
 * con.sendPacket(message);
 * </pre>
 *
 * To listen for group chat invitations, use a PacketExtensionFilter for the
 * <tt>x</tt> element name and <tt>jabber:x:conference</tt> namespace, as in the
 * following code example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * PacketFilter filter = new PacketExtensionFilter("x", "jabber:x:conference");
 * // Create a packet collector or packet listeners using the filter...
 * </pre>
 *
 * <b>Note</b>: this protocol is outdated now that the Multi-User Chat (MUC) JEP is available
 * (<a href="http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html">JEP-45</a>). However, most
 * existing clients still use this older protocol. Once MUC support becomes more
 * widespread, this API may be deprecated.
