Answer 1

Vectrace offers Mercurial Eclipse. But, it doesn't sound finished.

For bug tracking, you may try Trac with TracMercurial.

Answer 2

In my experience the MercurialEclipse plug-in works quite well - as far as I understood, nobody commenting here has actually used it, so don't base your decisions solely on those opinions. You'd probably be better off to test it yourself. As I said before - it works for me.

Disclaimer: I've participated in developing the plug-in...

Answer 3

I can't speak to Mercurial, but Mylyn is the unchallenged king of integrating Eclipse and various bug trackers. Regardless of how good your issue tracker's web interface may be, Mylyn makes it a lot easier to create, organize and (most importantly) work on incoming issues. It has excellent support for both Bugzilla and Trac. Its Jira support is a bit behind, but it's not bad. Additionally, there are a small horde of third-party plugins which add Mylyn support for various issue trackers (such as Mingle).

Answer 4

Trac can sometimes be a pain to set up. Take a look at Redmine. I'd recommend installing TortoiseHg too.

Answer 5

Just in case anyone runs across this thread, I started using Mercurial kind of by accident when I discovered it was one of the 3 integrated version control systems in Netbeans.

I know this is an Eclipse thread, but for anyone not already settled in with Eclipse and looking at Mercurial for versioning the integration in Netbeans is really quite impressive.

It includes things like project level overlays (what's changed, have you committed, etc) but goes even further by adding direct highlighting in your code view (so I can see line-by-line what's been modified and what hasn't).

Definitely worth taking a look at if your not already set on using Eclipse (which is great too, but I don't think the versioning integration is comparable/yet anyway).

Answer 6

I can't say much about Netbeans, but I guess I can say something about Eclipse. Version control such as CVS is great in Eclipse, but I suppose support is a bit lagging in other types of version control.

As for changes, Eclipse also highlight what are the new changes that you have in the source code and it goes as far as providing you the local history of the files you are editing. Project level overlays are there in Ecipse, but you need to use some kind of version control system for that (CVS, Subversion, etc)

Answer 7

i was doing some searching online for the same thing you're looking for and came across codeBeamer, a web-based issue tracker and project management tool fully compatible with eclipse tasks through a plugin called codeBeamer studio.

CodeBeamer website

I've just installed it on my dedicated server and I must say i'm quite impressed.

Just thought i'd put this up here, might save someone some time.

Mercurial API for Java?

Is there a plain API to access Mercurial repositories from Java? There are plugins for Netbeans and Eclipse, but unlike their Subversion counterparts, they do not use a common lower-level library but bring their own wrappers to call out to the Mercurial binary. Calling the binary would be okay (for now), but it seems very difficult to use those plugins in standalone applications (outside of the IDE they were built ...

Is it possible to browse the source code of OpenJDK online, just like I can do with SourceForge's projects? I never used Mercury before, so I felt confused. (Note: I don't want to download the source. I just want to browse it online, to see how some methods are implemented.)

svn - Git or Mercurial usage in Java projects

Just wondering if any of you are using Git or Mercurial for your Java projects, or is Subversion still the most popular choice? I've been looking at github.com and bitbucket.org lately, but because the repositories might be private, I can't get a good indication of actual usage.

Java: how to get mercurial current changeset number for use in program

I've recently started using mercurial for version control in a Java project. When I run my program, the input parameters it has used to produce certain a output, are written to a specific file. It would be nice if I could add the current mercurial changeset number (indicating the version of my program) to that output file as well. What would be the easiest way to do so on Windows? I could write a simple Java parse...

java - Repair links between moved files in Mercurial

Over the course of having this repo (originally SVN) I've not been to good with keeping file links together. I've changed IDE's twice, split the project into Netbeans modules, and mavenized the project over its time. Most of the file history is lost, mainly because during mavenizing I deleted the entire trunk, committed, copied over the maven project, and committed. Not exactly the best idea, as I later found out all histo...
