Hi all,
   I haven't had a lot of time to work on MercurialEclipse of late but  
have been beavering away at an extension and have a question about  
"packaging".

The extension will still take a little time to get into any useful  
state.

It is a graphical changeset viewer that draws a graph of the  
changesets showing branches, merges, named branches, etc. The idea is  
to layout the changesets in a way that can enhance the users ability  
to understand what has been merged and where and to generally be able  
to explore the history of development. The project I'm working on we  
develop new product features and bug fixes on branches that are merged  
into the default or a release branch (or both) when testing of the  
feature shows that it is stable enough. So, we have *lots* of branches  
and merges and some branches have many changesets.

I am using draw2d, gef and zest for the implementation and this leads  
to my question...

If I put this directly into the MercurialEclipse plugin it introduces  
a new dependency for the plugin, any users will now need GEF and Zest  
loaded into their eclipse.

Is this a problem or do I need to find a way to separate this (perhaps  
as an additional plugin?). I'm not sure exactly how to do this though.  
Much easier just to develop it directly in the existing plugin :-)

thanks,
brian wallis...
