ECF uses the git revision control system. You need to install git before you can get the sources. Installing git from Eclipse is described on the EGit project page [1]. Once completed, open the "Git Repository Exploring" perspective.

Copy this link in your clipboard "git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.git". Then open the "Git Repositories" view and press the "Clone a Git repository .." button in the toolbar of the view as depicted below.
