The bot can use a jabber account. to do so:
xmppClient tries to simulate irc-queries for ircClient plugins. this is experimental, this means it can work with a plugin, maybe it does not work. Just try it and give feedback. the settings of the ircClient plugins are stored in the pseudo-ircnet “xmpp” in the irc-network-config layer.
The ircNet “xmpp” must have main.enabled=false, because else the ircClient service will try to connect to the net.
These plugins have no sense with jabber:
