Hello,

I have been playing around with embedding an IRC client in the popular Java text editor jEdit. I
have managed to do so easily with the EIRC client (also on Sourceforge). However, this client is in
AWT, and jEdit is in Swing, so I have been trying Swing IRC clients. Relay IRC seems nice,
however, it doesn't look easy to embed. I would suggest that instead of implementing the
GUI entirely within a ChatApp JFrame, that you make something like ChatAppPanel, which you add
to a JFrame. That way people who would like to embed Relay IRC, can easily just take
ChatAppPanel, and add it to their own GUI. (I have seen the Relay IRC applet, but it is also AWT)

Also, for some reason it seems that all source files have been removed from the cvs repository...I
presume some reorganization is underway.
