TFS plugin for eclipse

Are there any TFS plugins available for the Eclipse IDE? We are trying to centralise our SCM, and since we also develop Java 2 EE applications, we would like to have TFS integration in eclipse.

Which plugins are available? Which have you found most useful.

I heard that Microsoft may be releasing one, does anyone know about this?

I have had a look and found the reviews of Teamprise looks good, however would like to have > 1 option!

Thanks in advance.

+2 A:

There might not be a free plugin and this SO question reports several alternative to a direct Eclipse integration.
Otherwise, there is Teamprise:

As Martin (mrhinsh) details in his answer (go upvote it):

Since Teamprise was aquired by Microsoft it has become Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 (as mentioned by the teamprise.com page, and detailed in the Microsoft teamprise FAQ page).
It might be accessible for anyone with a MSDN licence.
(thijs confirms in the comment: "its free with an MSDN (Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN) account")

Since Teamprise was aquired by Microsoft it has become Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010. I "think" it is now free if you have an MSDN licence.

@MrHinsh: all right. I have updated the answer to reflect your comment and to reference your own answer (upvoted).

Confirmed; its free with an MSDN (Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN) account

Teamprise integration I found to be filled with bugs, after days of trying to get it to work with the Zend IDE 6.1, I stopped. We decided as a large corporation to not use TFS for our OS development.

I think if you looked again you would see a vast improvement just from the tools having to now go through Microsofts QA process.

I was actually able (finally) to get this to work, I had to not use the Zend IDE, but build my IDE from the base eclipse package. I tried using the Eclipse php pre-assembled IDE but ran into the same issues as with the Zend version.

Vexed 2010-09-10 20:32:37

What I did find was that if I used the base Eclipse IDE, added PHP support and then added the TFS support all individually, it would work.

+4 A:

Option 1: Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010

With the launch of Visual Studio 2010 ALM Microsoft also released Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 which is an Eclypse plug in.

This is fully supported by Microsoft (they bought Teamprise) and supports:

Any of the following IDEs:

Eclipse 3.0 to 3.5 on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX.
IBM Rational Application Developer 6.0 to 7.5 on Windows.
IBM Rational Application Developer 7.0 to 7.5 on Linux.
Additional IDEs based on Eclipse 3.0 to 3.5 are supported including Adobe Flex Builder 3 and Aptana Studio 2.0.

Option 2: SVN Bridge

You can use the SVN Bridge to use any product that would normaly connect to SVN to connect to Team Foundation Server. Magic :)

MrHinsh 2010-08-20 19:56:42

Free if you have the right MSDN subscription

thijs 2010-10-12 10:04:03

have a look at SvnBridge, then you can use an SVN plugin in Eclipse e.g. Subclipse (or svn command line or tortoisesvn depending on your development environemt)

Other than that you're stuck with paying MS for the TEE plugin.
