TweetHub – Eclipse ECF Twitter client
Eclipse ECF is a framework for supporting the development of distributed Eclipse-based tools and applications.
With the Galileo release Eclipse ECF provides also a nice Twitter client TweetHub. TweetHub is an Eclipse RCP application for communicating with Twitter.
It took me a while to gather the right information to make TwitterHub work. So I thought it might be helpful to blog about it so that this might be easier for others.
First you need to install the ECF SDK via the update manager from http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.0/3.5/repo.
To install TwitterHub you need to download the code from cvs. The cvs connection string is: :pserver:anonymous@ecf1.osuosl.org:/ecf
To learn how to use cvs see Eclipse cvs access.
Check-out the following plugins from the cvs location:
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.twitter.ui.hub.product
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.twitter.ui.hub
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.twitter
This should be sufficient. You should now be able to run the product.
So now you can use TwitterHub to follow me on Twitter. 
I would like to thank Marcelo Mayworm who helped on in the eclipse.technology.ecf newsgroup.

Thanks Lars for blogging about TweetHub. We are working on build/deploying and updatesite/p2 repo for TweetHub as per https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=286059. But thanks again for blogging about it…it is appreciated. Actually, if you are willing, it might be a good idea to put this content into a wiki page off of http://wiki.eclipse.org/TweetHub. If you have a bugzilla account you should be able to add this now. Again thanks.

Thanks Scott. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=286059 has been been opened by me; I think it would be helpful to be able to download the product directly.
[UPDATE]
I edit the wiki page; I believe a link to the blog post might be the easiest. Wikis and screenshots are not close friends in my opinion.

Hey there,
so is this an Twitter Application integrated into Eclipse or what? So I can Twitter from within Eclipse, while coding?

@Matthias It is an RCP application therefore you should be able to run it also directly in the Eclipse IDE.
