Installing Team Explorer Everywhere in Eclipse

  • Artikel

This is one of two “side posts” that have come out of putting together What does Team Foundation Server 2013 offer the non-Windows user? This post covers connecting to the Eclipse Marketplace and getting hold of Team Explorer Everywhere (TFS integration for Eclipse) also known as the TFS plug-in for Eclipse.

  • In Eclipse, select Help | Eclipse Marketplace…
  • Enter search terms. I find that anything relevant I can think of doesn’t bring back the TFS plug-in for Eclipse in the first screen. Examples I’ve used include Team Explorer Everywhere, TFS, and Team Foundation Server.
  • I suggest entering “TFS Plugin for Eclipse”, and then enter/click Go:

  • Then scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the link to Browse for more solutions:

  • This will open a browser window in Eclipse, and you should now see the TFS Plug-in at the top of the list.

  • That’s the hard part :-) Now just select install and follow the installation wizard:

tee install 2

tee install 3

tee install 4

  • Once it’s installed, open up the TFS Perspective

  • Connect to your TFS Server (in my case VisualStudio Online, what was called Team Foundation Service):

tfs connect

And then you can start using TFS within Eclipse for source control, builds, and access to work items and queries:

tee work items 

Cheers
