Fill @version tag with mercurial in eclipse / Keyword substitution

Question

Hi,

I would like to fill the comment tag @version with mercurial in Eclipse. To do it with subversion I did this:

1. Placed "@version $$Id$$" in the java source file.

2. I right click on the project, select "Team -> set Property"

3. Property name: Enter "svn:keywords"

4. Enter a text property: Enter "Id"

5. Check the option "Set property recursively"

6. Click "OK"

Does anyone know the mercurial equivalent to the subversion process above?

Many thanks.

Mercurial comes bundled with the KeywordExtension that will do what you want.
