Hi Michael,
The reason for this is that ECF core doesn't provide a user interface
for creating and connecting IContainer instances.
The collab example plugin/feature does have such a user interface, and
this interface is used/reused for several of the example clients
(including IRC).
As Michael says, we should either remove/change the dependency on the
collab feature (e.g. by creating an 'IRC client' feature), change docs,
or build in the automatic install (for install/update) of the collab
feature. I've filed the following bug for this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=155391
Thanks Michael...we'll get to this as soon as we can. Sorry about the
trouble caused.
Scott
