title: Anyway to get MercurialEclipse to behave like the NetBeans Mercurial support?
body: <p>I have installed the MercurialEclipse plugin. I am finding it very hard to use.</p>
  
  <p>I have been using the Mercurial support in NetBeans for a while now, there are many things I would like to be able to do in Eclipse if possible:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>In NetBeans any changes to source code are highlighted in the line
  number area. New code is green, modified code is blue, and removed
  code is red.</p></li>
  <li><p>Files in the project explorer appear as blue or green for modified
  and new respectively.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sVq4d.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>In NetBeans I can right click any directory in the project explorer 
  and go to <strong>Mercurial->diff</strong> to get a visual diff for all files (<em>in the
  directory I clicked</em>) that have changed since the last commit.</p>
  
  <p>When I right click a directory in Eclipse I am given a <em>compare with</em> but
  with only 1 option (<em>each other</em>) that is disabled. </p>
  
  <p>Even worse, when I
  right click an actual file I know has changed and go to compare with I am
  given 3 options (<em>local history, parent changeset, different
  changeset</em>). If I click <em>parent changeset</em> it does not give me a diff. I assume this is beacause its the first time the file has changed since 3 commits ago. Which doesn't make since, I just want to see what I have changed to review it before commiting. I would like this to show me the changes I have made since my last commit i.e. the changes I will be committing.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><em>Please note I am not trying to bash on Eclipse and I am not trying to Praise NetBeans. I am just wanting to know if there is a way to setup a workflow in Eclipse like I am used to in NetBeans.</em></p>
