I saw your blog entry
http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/entry/how_i_installed_the_mercurial
Thanks for posting that.
I usually do all this on a Mac, but recently needed to try it on a
windows machine.
So I had a Windows 2000 machine with cygwin and MKS installed on it,
I downloaded and installed the Mercurial bundle and it seemed to work
great from a cygwin shell window. But I was just using 'hg clone', didn't
need the forest extension yet.
I also installed the latest NetBeans 6 plus the Mercurial plugin, worked
amazingly well, but this wasn't a jdk repository.
Trick was to start up NetBeans from the cygwin shell (running
c:/program files/netbeans 6/bin/netbeans.exe) so that NetBeans was started
with the right PATH setting to find hg.

Where and how do I install the “forest extension” to Mercurial for a
Windows box? (I really want to make the jump ASAP, assuming the
repositories are no longer in “test” status…)
Hi Ted,
This is how I did it on my XP Home PC at home:
1) I Installed Mercurial in c:\Mercurial.
2) I cloned the forest repository in c:\Mercurial.
In a cygwin terminal:
cd c:/Mercurial
hg clone http://www.terminus.org/hg/hgforest hgforest
3) Then I edited c:/Mercurial/Mercurial.ini and added the lines:
[extensions]
forest=c:/Mercurial/hgforest/forest.py
as documented in the Mercurial Wiki.
