Just took another look at bzr-eclipse … and I’m feeling lucky - it works. And Eclipse with PDT got a lot faster since 3.1 … sometimes live is beautiful (until you read about JavaScript-Flash-Webhacks, Earthquakes and Hurricans … but somehow live is still a bit beautiful).
Bazaar is generally the way to go if it comes to the question of version control systems - at least if you ask me for the direction to go ;).
This thing makes the already rocking bazaar-vcs rock even more. Software as it should (always) be, just bzr the current version into your bzr plugin directory (I love the bzr-plugin concept).
The Bazaar-Project put up a couple of repositories offering bzr 1.0 for Dapper, Feisty and Gusty.
The plugin is still (very) alpha, so use it just for toying around at the moment. Everything you need to know is here. For experiments the needed bzr-xmloutput plugin is best installed into the local bzr-plugin folder (”~/.bazaar/plugins”).
Installation of the plugin itself is best done via the update site mentioned at the project HP.
Publishing branches via ssh (or anything else which requires authentication) currently requires preshared keys for there is no username/password-dialog yet.
If anyone out there is willing to get his hands dirty, either by hacking bzr-xmloutput or anything else related to this (hopefully soon) very useful project, I’ll give him a hug.
