I can't find a link anywhere either, and nothing in the various EW2 threads.
Mike, are we just waiting on the java client? If so, I can ask someone to take care of that, all you'd have to do is add the link.

Any chance of getting the java chat online soon? I'm not seeing a link anywhere.

I don't know where the java client I'm supposed to use is. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll poke Tore when I see him and ask him to look here. If he hasn't had a chance by the time I get home I'll get you the links then.

No need TDC - Bynw beat you to it 
I have put a chat page that links to the channel #dnd3e up on the otherworlders.org website. It is not a Java client, but a rather nice Mibbit-powered one. The URL is:
http://otherworlders.org/chat/enworld/
For MM (and I guess anyone else that wants to bookmark it) - you can pass a nickname in the querystring if you want. For example, I would use:
http://otherworlders.org/chat/enworld/?nick=ToreadorVampire
and it will set my nickname in advance to "ToreadorVampire" instead of "enworld_guestxxxx" where xxxx is a random number. MM - you can easily pass "current logged in user's username" to that querystring and log people in with their nicknames automatically.
At the moment I have it linking to #dnd3e - because that's where the chatters are ... I think there was talk of a redirect to #enworld, but it hasn't happened yet, and since I'm not a mod on ENWorld, or an op in #dnd3e I am going to put my fingers in my ears at this point and run away singing "lalalalalala". Seriously though - if you want it pointing to #enworld or anything else instead, just let me know, it'll take all of 30 seconds to change it.
Also - right now the page is laid out in a totally standard/plain otherworlders.org style - I haven't spoken to Bynw about it yet, but he might be OK if you want some enworld branding on the page?
Cheers!

Can I use that page as a template to build one hosted on this machine and skin it appropriately? In other words - is there server side code on that page I need to replicate?No need TDC - Bynw beat you to it

That sounds like the way to go - "3e" is a somewhat non-inclusive term these days! "enworld" at least is system neutral.
