Problems with Mercurial->Status in NB 6.0

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

I just started to use NetBeans for OpenJDK HotSpot development and I have some
questions related to the Mercurial support in NetBeans:

I created a new C++ Project from the OpenJDK sources that I'd already fetched
on the command line with Mercurial (only jdk7/hotspot workspace).  In NB, if I
right-click the project and select Mercurial->Status the status windows only
displays the new NB project files, but not the other changed files. If I open
a directory in the project view that contains such a changed file, this file
is correctly highlighted and flagged as "Modified". I can also call
"Mercurial->diff"
on a file and it works fine, but not on a directory. If I use the command line
"hg diff" in the specific directory, this works fine.

Why does the "Status" command doesn't show the changed files?

And why isn't it possible to call "Status" or "Diff" on a directory in the
project view? They only work for the whole project or for a single file.

I use:
- mercurial 0.9.5 with the forest extension
- NetBeans 6.0
  Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 (Build 200711261600)
  Java: 1.6.0_02; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_02-b05
  System: Linux version 2.6.5-7.283-bigsmp running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
- Mercurial plugin 1.4.3.42.1

Default-pull=http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7//hotspot
Default-push=http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7//hotspot

If I do a "Mercurial->Update" I get:

Mercurial Pull
----------------
comparing with http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7//hotspot
searching for changes
no changes found
INFO Pull From: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7//hotspot
INFO To:        HotSpot.nb -
/net/sapmnt.hs0131.q_hs0131/dXXXXXX/OpenJDK/jdk7/hotspot
INFO: End of Mercurial Pull

"/net/sapmnt.hs0131.q_hs0131/dXXXXXX/OpenJDK/jdk7/hotspot" is the
OpenJDK hotspot directory which I've cloned. It contains the NB
project directory "HotSpot.nb" Does this look ok or have I missed
something?

Thanks for your support,
Volker Simonis
