This is a quick note to self on how to add a mercurial plugin into the Eclipse IDE.

From the toolbar in Eclipse, select Help > Install New Software

Add a the javaforge site to the list of software sites as shown.

AddSoftwareSite

 

After you’ve added the new site, select OK then the available software form that site should be displayed.

AddSoftware1

Select “MercurialEclipse” and press “Next”. You’ll be asked to install unsigned content. Hit OK, and once the installation is complete, you’ll be asked to restart eclipse. Open your project in eclipse then select the Team Synchronisation Perspective and in the Synchronize tab, hit the erm…Synchronize button:

Synch1

You should now have Mercurial as an available synchronisation type.

Synch2

Select Mercurial and hit “Next” and you’ll be prompted for the repository url and username and password details.

Good times!
