The reason is this...if it's possible to use the XMPP provider to connect and chat, it should be possible to use docshare...since docshare is based upon the datashare API, and for the xmpp provider this is implemented using the xmpp message properties (i.e. data that is sent with xmpp messages). So docshare on xmpp doesn't require a separate connection...it simply reuses the existing connection.
Is this still true of the initial exchange where the original content of the document is transmitted to the remote Eclipse instance?

jabberd. My support team have asked me for a copy of any communication logs. I can't see either a view or a console that appears to fit the bill. Does ECF allow inspection of the XMPP traffic? Or will I need wireshark or similar?
