User Interface

New icons and graphics

See bug #183015



Click hyperlinks to communicate

If the user is connected, when a hyperlink is clicked upon an IM session is started with the person given in the hyperlink. For example,

// Click here to talk with me: xmpps://fliwatuet@ecf.eclipse.org

when clicked upon, this hyperlink will start IM/Chat with fliwatuet@ecf.eclipse.org. This allows embedding real-time communication sessions within source documents, text documents, etc.

See example below:

See Bug #187060.

Persistence for Login
