There are many types of plugins, let's talk in general pourpose. Igniterealtime Plugin guide

You want to define a brand new IQ Stanza to manage an UserCustomParam. Let's say:

What you have to:

step 1: define a plugin (class that implemements Plugin) that adds a new handler

MyCustomHandler colorshandler;
IQRouter iqRouter = XMPPServer.getInstance().getIQRouter();
iqRouter.addHandler(colorshandler);

Step2: implements MyCustomHandler as you need (read on database, write on database, read server side and so on).

public class MyCustomHandler extends IQHandler {
    public static final String NAMESPACE_TICKET_IQ = "com.records.iq";
    public static final String TAG_TICKET_IQ = "usercustomparam ";

Now your server it's ready to manage your custom IQ request.

Time to go client side:

Step3: register to your ProviderManager an IQProvider

ProviderManager.addIQProvider("usercustomparam ","com.records.iq", new IQUserCustomParamProvider());

Step4: implements your IQUserCustomParamProvider as you need

public class IQUserCustomParamProvider extends IQProvider

into Provider you'll parse the incoming IQ from server and you'll create a IQUserCustomParam with an instance param like

String favouriteColor

Step5: you need to implement IQUserCustomParam

public class IQUserCustomParam extends IQ
    private final static String childElementName = "usercustomparam";
    private final static String childElementNamespace = "com.records.iq";

public IQUserCustomParam (String color)
    {
        this(childElementName , childElementNamespace );

        this.setType(IQ.Type.result);
        this.setFavouriteColor(color);
    }

Step 6: now set up it's completed, but you haven't defined yet when to accept IQUserCustomParam when it comes from server. So you need a StanzaFilter

public class IQUserCustomParamFilter implements StanzaFilter

Step 7: and you haven't defined yet what to do with IQUserCustomParam when it comes from server. So you need a StanzaListner

public class IQUserCustomParamListner implements StanzaListener

Step 8: finally you'll have to register the combo filter/listner on your connection:

AbstractXMPPConnection connection = ...;
connection.addAsyncStanzaListener(new PersonalConfigListner(this), new IQMUCConfigTicketFIlter();

if that helped, please don't forget to accept the answer!
