I'm using mercurial eclipse for years now and never had any issues with it. Because of an unrelated matter I recently updated to Eclipse Version: 2019-06 (4.12.0) Build id: 20190614-1200. when I look for MercurialEclipse in the marketplace its not found. Trying to install it from the web by dragging the install button into eclipse leads to a message "The following solutions are not compatible with this version of eclipse." I saw that the last version of MercurialEclipse was published just before the version I'm using. Is this going to be fixed at some point?
Sorry for how I worded this. I'm aware that my version of eclipse is not supported yet. Please let me know when this will be available in my version of eclipse.
The error "java.lang.NullPointerException: root cannot be null" comes when trying to open a project in the workbench which was not connected to mercurial repository.
Disclaimer: I'm not a maintainer for this plug-in, but had exactly the same problem and followed it to the Issues section of the plug-in's BitBucket project.
I tried the drag-and-drop method of installation and was told my version of Eclipse (2019-03) isn't compatible. So I followed the plugin's entry, copied the URL to paste into the "Install" dialog, and the plugin installed fine. Granted, I haven't put it through its paces, but I'm able to navigate through a project's change sets, view changes in the history, and see what local changes have been made. So far I think it works great.
Update: The previous comment was on a Windows 10 machine. Tried the same approach on a Linux Mint machine and as soon as Eclipse restarts I start getting "java.lang.NullPointerException: root cannot be null" any time the plugin tries to act on an open Mercurial project. Needless to say this is a game loser for this plugin.
We used to use this, but unfortunately installing from the MarketPlace is broken and the team seem unuinterested in fixing this:
Unable to read repository at https://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/update-site/raw/default/content.xml.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty
In RHEL7 attempting to synchronizing results in a error popup. And the result of the synchronization is wrong: the list of changed files is empty even though hg st shows modified files.
Will be removing MercurialEclipse from my installation since it is basically useless now.

Currently installing from the marketplace seems to be disabled? I've previously used this plugin quite successfully and would like to continue using it, but am not able to currently install it.
I'm trying to include the mercurial eclipse plugin in an RCP target. The closest I can come to making it work is to use a URL (not permitted to post URLs in comments) which the wiki says is deprecated. I can install it into my development IDE with this URL, but when I run the maven build, tycho fails and says that update site is in an old format, not supported. So then I use the site that the wiki says I should use, and there is nothing there but the codebeamer application. So then I registered for an account so I can submit a bug tracker item, and despite their notice that when you sign up for an account you can submit a bug report, it denies me access to do so after signing up and logging in. Quality control seems to be non-existent at this company.
When trying to install the plugin in Eclipse Mars both from the Marketplace as well as from the 'Install new software menu', when confirming the operation I get the following error: "Error reading update site [plugi url].

The marketplace version has been broken for over a year now.
After Bitbucket destruction by Atlassian, the new home of the plugin is:

There's an experimental update available to fix this issue. If you add the URL https://bitbucket.org/colin-hurley/mercurialeclipse-update-site/raw/defa... to your list of update sites and use it to add new software, you should see version 2.7.1.201904300026 available. It works for me.
