Install Mercurial

→ recently added a more detailed step-by-step-installation-guide for Mercurial on OSX, Ubuntu and Windows and also how to configure ssh.

Same as using Git we have to tell Mercurial some user informations. Mercurial searches for user data in a file named “hgrc“:

[ui]
username = ekke <ekke@ekkes-corner.org>

I place this file in my  repositories directly below .hg:

(Unix, Windows) yourRepository/.hg/hgrc

more informations about global locations of hgrc see here.

Install HgMercurial

There are also UpdateSites available for HgEclipse – I used the Snapshot Updatesite: http://hge.javaforge.com/mercurialeclipse-snapshots.

You should use MercurialEclipse 1.7.0 or later – there were huge performance improvements from 1.6.x to 1.7.0.

Unfortunately Intland changed the behaviour of the Updatesite

– now you need an Account and Password from JavaForge :(

From my POV an Updatesite for Open Source Software (EPL) should always be free from registrations – and luckily Andrei Loskutov provides the release and snapshots at EclipseLabs free from password or account :)
