1) What are the dependencies...for org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.PopupDialog
and others?
    

Well, it's going to be whatever JFace needs, SWT and some bundles from
core (commands, equinox.common).

  

2) Would it make sense to move MessageNotificationPopup (and any new
classes I create) to org.eclipse.ecf.ui?  Perhaps in a new package
org.eclipse.ecf.ui.notification?
    

I think it makes sense to move it to the base UI though some tweaking
would need to be in order since that would put a hard presence API
requirement.
  

OK.  I don't see any presence or presence ui references in MessageNotificationPopup (and it's superclass seems to be a JFace PopupDialog).  Is this the primary class or are there others that do depend upon presence/ui?

or would the dependencies then make
org.eclipse.ecf.ui unusable outside of Eclipse? (i.e. for RCP apps, etc?).
    

It depends. It'll also introduce a forms dependency.
  

OK.  I'm torn on how much to work on this, given the stuff going on with bug 177974.  Has anyone (Remy or others) been using the work from 177974 (with Mylyn or other)?
