You can just call mercurial via the shell and parse the output - that's what 
the Eclipse Plugins do, as far as I know. 

Something like the group extension won't be as easily possible that way, 
though. If you want such extensions, you have to integrate them into 
Mercurial - under the GPL. 

Best wishes,
