Multiple Java Projects in one Mercurial repository

[vogella]

Hi,

I would like to have several Java project / Eclipse plugins and store
them in one Mercurial repository. How can I do this with Mercurial /
the Eclipse plugin for Mercurial?

The examples I could find via Google always discuss the one repository
== one project case.

I also looked at the example of the Eclipse Plugin for Mercurial but
this seem to me also using one project for the repository.

Best regards, Lars

Hi,

the point is, that plugin can't create repositories outside the workspace,
but it can clone repositories with multiple projects.

So you need initially create repo outside of Eclipse and add your projects
to it. After that, you can clone the repo with plugin etc.

Is this feature(create new projects in a mercurial repository) planned
for the plugin?

At least this would represent my workflow better. I currently use svn,
create a project at at some point publish it to my svn repository via
svn (using multiple project layout settings)

Hi Andrei,

thank you. Ok, this makes it clear. I tried to push new projects to
the repositories via the plugin and this failed. From your answer it
is clean that this functionality is currently not supported by the
plugin.

I will try via the hg command to create several projects in one
repository. Thank you again.

Best regards, Lars

Not yet, but it is worth to think about.

I think, if you create a usual project inside already existing repo, you
should be able to "share" the project with mercurial from Eclipse.

What you definitely can't do from Eclipse right now is to create a hg repo
from within Eclipse, which hg root is "below" of Eclipse workspace or
"below" of any Eclipse project location.

A possible workflow would be:
- create some projects located under same common root
- select them in Eclipse and "Share in a common hg repo" wizard...

Hi Andrei,

thanks again. If I get you right it is currently not possible to share
separate (independent created) projects in one repository. If imported
a existing hg repository and if I create a new Java / Plugin project
it creates it outside this repository.

I my opinion this colliates with the Eclipse way of creating projects.
I always try to have lots of plugin projects to keep the functionality
separated.

Best regards, Lars

Hi,

I've tried to do this, but Eclipse (Ganymede) told me it couldn't
create .project in the root folder.
What I tried to do is:
- Import
-> CLone from existing repository
-> use .project to create projects

The last option is what triggered an error with Eclipse. When
unchecking it, it imported all the folders in one project instead of
several :|

Can you give us the sequence of things to do to import several
projects from a single Mercurial repository?

I was having a related problem, but using this pluginm qt-eclipse
plugin and eclipse-C/C++. Some arquives need to be at project's root
or qt-eclipse won't 'qmake' them, but obviously those archives weren't
at hg repo root. So I made a temporary workaround:
Say, hg-eclipse project was at ~/eclipse;
So I created a new project at ~/eclipse/myproject . Makefiles were
created and compiled there.
Mercurial-Eclipse was smart enough to let me do hg things in files
inside both eclipse projects.
Don't know if it was working 100%. Found a better solution to my
problem.
Best,
