Is there a Java IRC chat client with source code?

The Open Directory Project lists several Open-Source Java IRC Client programs, including one by the JavaLobby Foundataion.

There are also a few commercial/shareware Java IRC clients. While you can probably decompile these to see the source code, you must contact the authors to obtain rights to use the code or derivative work in your own programs.
