No, I don't assume that...although I expect it could be reasonable to
use the ECF presence API and associated UI in the newsreader...as I
thought one of the desired newsreader features was integration with
some messaging/chat/collaboration functionality (which the presence
api/ui provides).
But assuming that a dependency on org.eclipse.ecf.presence.ui is NOT
already in the newsreader...yes, it then does introduce a new
dependency, but as far as I'm concerned, since the newsreader is already
using parts of ECF, another ECF dependency is preferable to a dependency
on a brand new set of bundles (for the same functionality).
