For a new Java web project I thought about using:
- Eclipse as IDE
- Mercurial for version control
- Some kind of bug tracking software
I have heard of bug tracking software where you can tie a change to an unresolved bug when you check it in. I haven’t used any such solution myself, but it sounds good. Are there any good bug tracking applications which work well in combination with Eclipse and Mercurial and lets you tie a change to an unresolved bug? And if not, are there at least good plug ins for Eclipse to use Mercurial for version control? Would it support hg rename and hg copy?
If I can get something good working using a mix of the above three components I plan on throwing Hudson into the mix as well. To be able to track how changes in the code base affects our unit tests.
First of all I want feedback on the above question. But I would appreciate any thoughts regarding handling versioning, bug tracking and their integration into Eclipse.
In my experience the MercurialEclipse plug-in works quite well – as far as I understood, nobody commenting here has actually used it, so don’t base your decisions solely on those opinions. You’d probably be better off to test it yourself. As I said before – it works for me.
Disclaimer: I’ve participated in developing the plug-in…
