Jessie,

This looks promising. Are you looking also to have this as a plugin to Netbeans and Eclipse as that would make this even more useful? I've thought about it. But I wanted to have something as lightweight as possible AND I don't know anything about NetBeans or Eclipse plugins :-)

Thanks for the info in the previous email. I thought the webrev was java based but figured i should sanity check to make sure you :-)

Having a plugin would be great, especially for Netbean with its support for Project Keani in the latest release. I am sure this would be very popular. I have only poked at netbeans plugins myself. But that can be phase two of the project...

I look forward to giving your new tool a try.

Again thanks for the feedback. It is a little late in your part of the world isn't it? :-)

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.
