Hi,

Great!

Some of us use Eclipse as an IDE, others use just an editor and the
command-line.

First of all, it's good to read the Swiften developer's guide to
understand the basics of Swiften (the underlying XMPP library):
http://swift.im/swiften/guide/

Then, a good starting point is to start in
Swift/Controllers/MainController, which is the entry point of the
Swift client's logic code. Starting from there, you can have a look at
either the Controllers (which contain the logic and tie different
parts of the UI together), or look in QtUI for the UI specific stuff
(which is controlled by the controllers, and calls back to them).

I hope this helps.

cheers,
Remko
