Java development IRC channel

I have joined the ##java on irc.freenode.net IRC server recently. I am using XChat IRC client with nick name rwatsh. We first need to register our nick name as follows (words in italics are the ones you need to change):

/msg NickServ REGISTER password youremail@example.com/

Then you get a verification email on the above mentioned email address with the verification command which looks like:

/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER username abcdxxxx

After that, you can join the ##java channel on freenode. Its also the only channel for all things Java (so it includes SE, ME, EE).
