I don't know what is supposed to happen, I just know that I recently configured a Jenkins slave node on OSX and it didn't work until I manually installed both Java and Mercurial. Indeed, it would be nice if both happened automatically (Jenkins install Java and the Mercurial plugin install Mercurial). I wasn't aware of this page that you referenced or exactly what that implies. I read that page as saying that more tools, specifically auto-installation of SCMs, is needed (e.g. Mercurial). Why it specifically says: "Mercurial available as of 1.18" is indeed confusing (since it implies it is already supported, but is listed under missing tools).

Looking at https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Tool+Auto-Installation it says "Mercurial available as of 1.18". I thought this means that Mercurial supports auto-installation. We really need someone to put up some sort of grid of operating systems and supported auto-installers. Also, note that in the past the JDK auto-installer didn't support OSX because Oracle JDK wasn't available. Today it is. Is anyone updating the JDK installer for OSX?
