configure my machine at work (WXP 32bit) and MercurialEclipse in Eclipse Helios from the market without any problems.
At home, I did the same procedure, but on the W7Pro 64bit. MercurialEclipse itself was installed, but it restarted restarting the Workspace that the command was hgnot found; and it’s true, they have not been established.
Comparing the plugin configurations in both Eclipse installations, I found that the W7Pro 64bit skips Windows Binaries for the Mercurial plugin. Is this architecture dependent? Is there any way to fix this?
Update:
I checked several installations: MercurialEclipse requires the external binary to work correctly. I was confused because, through testing on the first installation, I also installed the Windows binaries for Mercurial “somehow”. On my second machine, I did not do this, and I also did not install MercurialHg.
By default, MercurialEclipse simple is required hgin its configuration, which implies that the binary must be accessible in a path somewhere. Windows binaries for Mercurial work a little differently, it sets up a private copy hg.exeinside the folder eclipse/somewhere and sets the absolute path in the MercurialEclipse configuration. Both methods work the same way (ignoring differences that may occur due to differences in version), since any installation will use yours mercurial.inifrom your home directory.
