I use hg form the command line under cygwin. That was fine, until now. The time came that I need some support in the IDE. I have installed the plugin in the Eclispe, but it complains that cannot find hg. Cygwin is not on the windows path. Because of the path problem it prohibits to configure the plugin within the eclipse as some error popups and the configuration page in the preference is not displayed at all.
Looks, that I need to install win version of hg so that I can configure it. Once I have it, I probably no longer need to configure the cygwin one. Cheers and thanks for a help. Igor P.S.
