[ANN] Mercurial Idea plugin Version 0.10 available

Just curious, is there something like JavaMercurial (== a 100% Java-based
implementation) available or in progress?

No, there is not as far as I know.

I did see talk of getting it to run under Jython thou...

Whenever I do a diff etc. I get "ERROR: hg not found" under OS/X:

perelandra:~ amrk$ which hg
/opt/local/bin/hg


Where is the plugin looking for hg?

Also, when I try to commit I always get told theres no changes, I
suspect this is related to the above problem as well..

mark (this is using build 12)

The first public version of a VCS plugin for Mercurial is available for IDEA EAP builds greater than 7065. It is not available through the plugin manager, but can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/mercurialidea/. Please read the information on the site.

This version should be considered as an alpha release. Feedback would be welcome.

The plugin looks on the default path. Failing that you can set the path to hg by going to:

Settings -> Version Control -> Configure VCS

Great work.

I tried it on the OpenJDK project (And that's a big heavy one), and for the moment it gives exactly what I need (Track changes). I'll test it more.

This plugin is highly requested (85 votes) on http://plugins.intellij.net/wishlist/item/?wid=44 so a lot of expectations ;)

Two questions:
- Is there a confluence/wiki page where we can add documentation and help?
- Is there a Jira project for requests/bugs?

If not where it should be added?

I have set up the project at Google Code. You can find bug tracking and the like there:

http://code.google.com/p/mercurialidea/

There is a wiki there which at this stage is (unfortunately) empty.

Having a "real" job means that the time that I can dedicate to the plugin is restricted to what I can justify for the needs of the "real" job so development work is a bit patchy at the moment.

The source is available under the Apache 2.0 license. There is plenty that can be done - contributions would be very welcome.

Found my own answer:
Issues: http://code.google.com/p/mercurialidea/issues/list
And the wiki page is empty there.

But I was expecting this here on ITN, no?
