Java World than helping Mercurial by recoding it in Java (which only help
people who like to write Java code).

So far, if i didn't miss something, the best way to do this would be by
finding a way to have it run properly into Jython... (Perhaps building some
kind of Jython application that would act as a container for Mercurial).

Using Jython, would we be able to have a finer API to "discuss" with either
Mercurial, its repository or a remote repository ? (because this is the main
purpose of all of this, isn't it ?)

I really think that a &quot;Java-way-to-access-to-Mercurial&quot; would rea=
lly provides a better integration for many tools (Eclipse, Ant, Maven...), =
hence, help people working with Java by letting them use Mercurial properly=
