Hi all -- I'm brand-new to MercurialEclipse and Eclipse plugin development, so please go easy on me. I spent some time with the current stable version of MercurialEclipse today and found enough problems that I wanted to try the latest version. So I followed the steps in the wiki (http://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/main/wiki/Hackers) with minor difficulty. (Specifically, the wiki said nothing about needing the PDE, so I had 9,000 compile errors when I first loaded the MercurialEclipse source. I updated the wiki page to mention the PDE, but I'm not sure how complete my change is.)
Anyways, I did manage to compile and install the plugin. (I set the version to "1.3.1233.gw" -- figured having my initials in there would clarify things.) However, the installation did not entirely work: it added plugins/com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.3.1233.gw.jar to my Eclipse installation, but put nothing in features/. (Installing via Help->Software Updates *does* add something to features/.) So after installing the development version, I had features/com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.3.1019/ plugins/com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.3.1019.jar plugins/com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.3.1233.gw.jar and Eclipse said I still had 1.3.1019 installed. (Oh yeah, I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1.) Just to make things worse, I manually removed the above three from the filesystem. Now Eclipse reports no MercurialEclipse installed, but it won't let me install it because it's already installed. ;-( Specifically, in Help->About Eclipse Platform->Plug-in Details, I see no trace of MercurialEclipse. But if I go to Help->Software Updates->Available Software and select com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse 1.3.1019, I get this error message: Cannot complete the request. See the details. com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse will be ignored because it is already installed. OK (The message "See the details" is misleading because that paragraph *is* the details.) Any help with either problem would be appreciated!
