Mercurial Plugin for Netbeans

[John Rice]

Hi - we've been working on a Mercurial Netbeans 6.0 plugin over the past 
few months or so and have been having lots of fun.

Bryan O'Sullivan got wind of it and suggested we let you folks know 
what's happening. We've been heads down working on the plugin and just 
using the command line Hg interface as we couldn't hook it in using 
Jython, but this seems to work fine for us so no worries. All the gory 
details for those who are interested are up on the NetBeans mercurial 
wiki page: http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/MercurialVersionControl

Folks are welcome to suck it down and try it. If you don't fancy 
building NetBeans, we'll be putting up the module on the Development 
Update center in the next few weeks and will post to the list.

This is our first cut so be kind :) We have focused on working with 
local repositories and in the next cut want to start looking at working 
with remote repositories. We are relative newbies to mercurial so would 
love to get feedback on what you think of the plugin and what common 
user scenarios you think we should tackle next. I fancy an import wizard 
that would setup and Incoming, Working Set(s) and Outgoing right off the 
bat, no doubt you guys have lots of others ...

Cheers,

JR
