Jesse,

One other question. Does this replace the webrev script or does jHg still invoke the webrev script?

This is a replacement. webrev, being a shell script, is very hard to maintain, extend and make work across various platforms. So the main motivation behind jHg was to rewrite it in Java. I figured I might as well add a few bells an whistles to make it more useful.

Actually, I've split the project in two:

So far it has been tested on Solaris, Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

I'm putting the final touches to a tool I call jHg It's a simple mercurial front end and a webrev generator. All written in Java. It has a GUI as well a command line interface. With it you can easily: - browse through the history of any mercurial workspace and of any file in the workspace - search the history - view the details of any changeset or group of changesets - view the details of the current status - Commit, Push, Pull, Update or Revert changes. - Generate a webrev of any set of changes. Upload it to cr.openjdk.java.net and/or preview the webrev in the browser. I've attached a couple of simple screenshots. Right now the tool is being tested internally and I'm fixing the last kinks. Hopefully I'll make it available to the community very soon.
