Hello,

I am new to ECF and am trying to write a custom provider to connect into
ECF for a custom chat program. To get familiar with how things work, I am
trying to get the custom Yahoo provider that was written here
( http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os- ecl-commfwk/)
working, and I'm not having any success. I downloaded the source code and
tried putting the org.eclipse.ecf.provider.yahoo directory in the
eclipse/plugins directory and it didn't work (i.e. I didn't see Yahoo as
an entry when trying to connect to a provider. If anyone has any
suggestions, or something simple that I am forgetting, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi Jake,

I think the Yahoo provider that was done as part of the article is now
out of date. We do have a up-to-date version of the Yahoo provider
available here, however: http://ecf1.osuosl.org

The source code for that is also available...there are instructions for
CVS access at the bottom of the page.

Even the up-to-date version of the Yahoo provider can/could be
improved...and we have not been able to do a lot with it recently. If
you are able to update it and make improvements, please consider
contributing them back to the project.

Thanks!
