OK, so I've downloaded and checked out the source and installed the plugin.

When I say team -- share project on the checked out source I select
monotone as the type and it says "This project is already a monotone
workspace. Click Finish." When I do this I get "An error occurred while
sharing the project: Reason: Invocation of the sharing action failed"
clicking Details shows java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.

Any ideas?

I've never done this either, but I have fiddled around with an intellij
plugin for monotone so I have a vague idea of what needs to happen and
I'd love to see this working well so I'm happy to help.

I'm running an older 3.2.0 M20060629-1905 build under the sun 1.5.0_06  jdk.

I had to add --key="" to get this to work.

Got 'em all... now I just need to look at them and see what the feature
and updatesite things are all about.
