Mercurial using BitBucket and Eclipse

If the project is already created in Eclipse, but not in mercurial repository, then:

(1) Create a repository in BitBucket.
(2) Go into shell, and clone from BitBucket which is empty.

e.g. If I have created non-mercurial project in local eclipse called "hello_world":

$ mv hello_world hello_world.bak
$ cp -r hello_world.bak hello_world
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/BBUSER/hello_world
http authorization required
realm: Bitbucket.org HTTP
user: BBUSER
password: 
destination directory: hello_world
no changes found
updating to branch default
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

(3) Then move or copy those files from the local project directory into the BitBucket cloned directory.

$ cd hello_world
$ hg add
adding ....
[ommit]

$ hg ci -u BBUSER
$ hg push

(4) Remove hello_world project from eclipse (make sure to have a backup) and from disk.
(5) In eclipse's menu -> New -> Other -> Mercurial -> Clone Existing Mercurial Repository, then click <next> button.
(6) In next dialog, enter URL to the BitBucket repository (get this when the repository was created, or go  to the site and find out),  username/password.
(7) Click next, next, finish.

Selling Yourself: Why? and How!

Source:
http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2011/08/selling-yourself-why-and-how.html


I know many good developers who are under the impression that they either don’t have to sell themselves, or selling themselves is wrong, but is that really true?

First let me clarify by defining what I mean by “selling yourself”. I don’t mean “selling out”, I mean marketing yourself, what you’re doing and what your skills are. Especially to your organization.
