From My MacBook by Redhuan D. Oon

Tony, i believe it has something to do with my MacBook and Eclipse version. They don't always jive with stuff out there so you must be right on that version advice.Redhuan D. Oon 03:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
  • You may not find the .hgrc file in your <home-dir> so you just create it there with pico utility. If your Eclipse opens with issue in Mercurial, at your terminal box run: hg debuginstall to see what can be wrong.
  • In Eclipse, you need to set the Hg command to your disk location such as in my case it is /usr/local/bin/hg
  • Follow the terminal command to clone but do it as root or else it seems to deny you permission.
    • Below is my first clone statement which is same as advised in article:
hg clone -U http://adempiere.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/adempiere/adempiere adempiere

Creating local working clones

  • After the above i can then do this in my Eclipse by:
    • Right-click on my left panel and select Team and Import.
    • Choosing Mercurial option
    • Then telling the dialog where my local clone and where is my workspace as shown in image here.
    • Then click Finish and it takes not long to show up in your Eclipse IDE. As seen in the image below, its folder structure appears to arrange exactly as expected even though its harddisk layout was so different during cloning. This must mean that the Mercurial app is working.

Keeping up to date

  • Now, as usual, right-click on the Project
  • Select Team and see the pop right selection box as shown below.
  • Note the new options for Push, Pull besides the usual "Commit" and "Update" selection.
  • I suspect these words have improved my sex life a lot. There is now more foreplay instead of committing right away. Try it.

Pointing to Heng Sin's Kenai Project

  • Low Heng Sin announced his own Mercurial branch in a Kenai repository here.
  • In order to fetch his work, i created a new folder as /opt/repos/kenai and execute the command:

hg clone -U https://hg.kenai.com/hg/hengsin~development

  • When the downloading process finishes (which is dependent on your download speed), you can then launch your Eclipse and Import via Mercurial Clone process.
  • This time set the Repository Location URL as opt/repos/kenai/hengsin-development
  • Set your Clone Destination (workspace)
  • Check the box for Search for .project files in clone and use them to create projects
    • This is important for the plugins to show up in each other's MANIFEST.
  • Start the project creation by clicking on Finish.

Spring DM Environment

  • As Heng Sin's project is setup as OSGI plugins under the Spring DM environment, you still have one more thing to install in your Eclipse.
  • Following advice from SpringSource you can install via Eclipse by pointing to a new update site http://www.springide.org/updatesite_nightly.

My Notes

  • In my Eclipse i set the Preferences > Plug-in Development > Target Platform > Target definitions: Running Platform (Active) or else there be eclipse plugins unresolved errors

Progress Errors

  • At the moment i got cyclic complaints in my IDE, (solved by forcing Manifest compile)
  • A gemini.web.tomcat and javax.ejb plugin resources missing,
  • tomcatConfig has missing 'src' (create a 'src')
  • You can ignore all the above. It is solved by:
    • Getting latest Helios Eclipse and update with Mercurial and Spring DM (minimal options)
    • Setting the workspace to workspace/hengsin-development so that the Equinox-Target synchs its ${workspace_loc} variable, as shown below.

Finally got it all without errors
