Id like to say Yes!
But actually no, you only see the static pages, the stuff is in da development trac-wiki

http://home.zingo.org/trac/mercurialeclipse

And yes it is on my home computer and it is mostly up but yesterday my wife had some network problem and solved it by
stealing my network-cable sorry about that (I have taken it back now).

The project is sertanly alive last release was 1 april and next is on it's way (I have not done anything but there are
major improvements from other people just waiting for me to integrate it), it will almost bring it up to 1.0 status.
1.0 status means that most daily stuff should be possible to do from inside eclipse, current release miss stuff like
merge and update.

Please try, Eclipse is a realy nice IDE best I have tried for Java and C.

To be honest I only use it for my mercurialeclipse plugin but it works great for that.
Quite ironic I only use hg for my hg-eclipse plugin that I do so I can use hg for my project that currently is only my
hg-eclipse plugin e.g. If I didn't do my plugin I wouldn't need my plugin, I just wast time and having a lot of fun
doing it.
