As I am promoting the Team Foundation server across the teams, during our last two demonstrations with project teams, a question that how Java Applications can use the Team Foundation Server which are running on non windows operating systems such as Linux, Max OS X.
Here is the Solution:
Java applications are typically developed and deployed in multiple environments and platforms work under Eclipse IDE uses below Configuration Tools.
1. Java Configuration Tool- JFig
2. Sub version
3. Concurrent Version Systems- CVS
4. IBM- Configuration Management Version Console- CMVC
But Microsoft Team Foundation server doesn’t run under non windows operating systems cannot support java applications. So to use TFS features efficiently, Microsoft provides the “Teamprise tool” costs $499 per user or with discounted volume licenses.
Teamprise is a suite of client applications for accessing Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server from outside the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Teamprise enables development teams to use the source control, bug tracking, work item tracking, build, and reporting features of Team Foundation Server from within the Eclipse IDE, and from other operating systems, including Linux and Mac OS X.
Once we install “Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse”, it allows us to satisfy the needs of developers working in .NET and those working in Java on Linux desktops can perform all TFS operations.

Does anyone know if it's possible to integrate TFS through RAD 7 with Eclipse Plugin?
ReplyDeleteYes the Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse also compatible with RAD 7, however a special manual installation is required as RAD 7 has changed both the Update Manager installation and manual installation methods. Users of Eclipse IDEs can work on RAD 6 with ploug-in
