Prerequisites

To complete the steps in this article, you'll need to install the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse, which requires the following software components:

Note

The Azure Toolkit for Eclipse page at the Eclipse Marketplace lists the builds that are compatible with the toolkit.

There are two methods of installing the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse: by accessing the Eclipse Marketplace, and by using the Install new software option on the Help menu. Both installation methods will be demonstrated in the following sections.

    Marketplace window, Help menu.

  1. An Eclipse Marketplace wizard will pop up with installation instructions, including a list of components that will be installed. Verify that all features are selected and click Confirm >.

    Feature Description
    Application Insights Plugin for Java Allows you to use Azure's telemetry logging and analysis services for your applications and server instances.
    Azure Common Plugin Provides the common functionality needed by other toolkit components.
    Azure Container Tools for Eclipse Enables you to build and deploy a .WAR as a Docker container to a docker machine.
    Azure Explorer for Eclipse Provides an explorer-style interface for managing your Azure resources.
    Azure HDInsight plugin for Java Enables Apache Spark application development in Scala.
    Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.1 for SQL Server Provides JDBC API for SQL Server and Microsoft Azure SQL Database for Java Platform Enterprise Edition 8.
    Package for Microsoft Azure Libraries for Java Provides APIs for accessing Microsoft Azure services, such as storage, service bus, and service runtime.
    WebApp Plugin for Eclipse Enables you to deploy your web applications as Azure App Services.

  2. In the Review Licenses dialog, review the terms of the license agreements. If you accept the terms of the license agreements, click I accept the terms of the license agreements, and then click Finish.

    Note
