Eclipse Mercurial plugin uses executable with version different than locally installed executable

I encountered the following issue:

1. Cloned a Mercurial repository from the command line.

2. In Eclipse, went to File -> New -> Other... -> "Create New Mercurial Repository"
3. Browsed for the newly cloned local repository and clicked the "Finish" button.

4. G0t this error in Eclipse: "abort: requirement 'dotencode' not supported!"

This was happening due to a version mismatch between the Mercurial executable used by Eclipse and the Mercurial executable installed locally. To fix this:

1. Went to Windows -> Preferences -> Team -> Mercurial in Eclipse.

2. Unchecked the "Use default (built-in) Mercurial executable" check-box.

3. Browsed for local Mercurial executable in the "Mercurial Executable" field.

4. Clicked the "OK" button on the dialog.
