Installing Mercurial (hg) into Adobe Flash Builder 4 (standalone installation)
2010 May 5
Flash Builder, Eclipse and Mercurial (Hg) are all new in my world, and I couldn’t find any instructions on getting them to play nicely together. If you are in the same boat, read on …
These instructions are based on a stand alone installation of Flex Builder, but I suppose they are about the same even if you are using the Flex Builder Eclipse plug-in.
- Click Help > Install New Software …
- Click ‘Available Software Sites’
- Click Add
- Enter a name and the url (http://hge.javaforge.com/hgeclipse), click OK
- Click OK again to close the parent window and select ‘Mercurial Eclipse’ in the ‘Work with’ drop-down list.
- Select HgEclipse and click Next, Next, Next, Finish
- Now open a project. Right click the project, select Team > Share Project …
- Choose Mercurial (obviously) … click Next, Next, whatever, to finish the selections.
- Finished! You should now see the Mercurial commands in the Team menu.
P.S. Mercurial ROCKS !!!! I’ve used VSS, Perforce, TFS and Subverion. Subversion has always been my favorite, but Mercurial easily takes first place now. The DVCS model is much better.

I am using Mercurial with Adobe Flash builder 4. It really is good. Thank you for your tutorial. I had to get my developer to help me set it up last month. But with your guide, I could have done it myself. Aaron
