Just to expand a little on Markus' remarks here...
ECF's discovery should already discover ichat services, since ichat
publishes itself via zeroconf. They will appear in the Service
Discovery view. I've seen these appear in tests on networks where Macs
(which publish ichat services by default, I believe).
As Markus says, we also have XMPP client support in ECF.
We currently don't provide any user interface in the Service Discovery
view, however, for actually initiating a login to an XMPP server (once
discovered). We have an extension point for the service discovery view,
called org.eclipse.ecf.discovery.ui.serviceAccessHandler [1] that allows
menu entries to be added to the context menu of the discovered service
entry. It would be a nice enhancement to add an ichat
serviceAccessHandler so that people could easily connect to a discovered
ichat service. If you do this, please consider contributing it back to
ECF and it will be included in future releases.
You may also use the discovery api to publish and discover your own
services or create your own service discovery UI.

Thanks for all the information.
I was of course hoping all the stuff already exists, but as it doesn't,
it looks like that if I want it, I just might have to get myself
acquainted to ECF (and XMPP) internals...
On a slightly related note - what do I have to do to make MSN login work
inside Eclipse (3.4)?
