Mercurial Eclipse

• Clone the source from javaforge using hg clone http://javaforge.com:8000/hgeclipse
• Create an archive of the latest release source: how to create an archive of a specific tag in mercurial

hg archive -r RELEASE_1.8.1 --type=tar ../mercurialeclipse_1-8-1.tar.bz2

• Create a new feature in Eclipse using New -> feature

type mercurialeclipse-feature

change the featureID to com.vectrace.mercurialeclipse (the plug-in needed for this feature)

• Add this feature id to %build in .spec file in -f option

Don't need to add -d (dependencies) for now, until it complains

• Create an archive file of the feature then add it to the SOURCES in RPM project.

you may need to add that to the %prep in .spec file.

• fill the information for feature template...
