Derby

Thanks to Bruce Phillips for this post on using the derby server that comes with MyEclipse.

Especially the part about adding an attrib to the connect string to create a new schema. (jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/phillipsDB;create=true)

MercurialEclipse

Installing MercurialEclipse plugin I've run into the problem that the plugin would say something like 'error when verifying mercurial install...'

Well. I installed the mercurial 1.2.1 windows binary package from here: , set HG environment variable to the path to the hg executable. the hg install directory was added to the PATH. Now the pluggin seems to work well.
