Open Source Jabber Client for E61

I just spotted MGTalk, an open source Java based Jabber client for mobile devices. I like the layout of the dialog form quite a bit. I need to load up Eclipse and poke around at this. With a font better suited to my preferences I think it would be fantastic. Normally in java based chat client you have to go off to a seperate form to enter text, losing any messages that come in as you’re entering your own text. That’s always a pain in IRC clients on the E61, which all expect you to be using a keypad instead of a keyboard. MGTalk works out great with the full keyboard though, and I would love to lift the form style and use it for an IRC client as well. Very nice.
