Device Login Page is not coming when entering TFS (Team Foundation Server) URL in Eclipse

I am trying to set up my Eclipse with my TFS Project (Team Explorer Everywhere). I am following the below documentation:
https://azuredevopslabs.com/labs/java/eclipsegit/
I am able to install the TFS Plugin. But as per the Step 10 in the documentation, I am not able to get the Device Login window post entering the TFS URL. After clicking on OK, the next expected window is not getting populated. The URL is correct as I am able to access the same through the browser. I have also tried by entering my credentials but still no luck. Can anyone help or suggest if I am missing anything.
If the Device Login windows does not pop up normally, it could be an issue with the plugin.
You can try to uninstall the TFS plugin and install TFS 14.135.0 to solve the problem.

Can't connect to Azure Devops using Eclipse plugin

I'm using eclipse 2019, and I'm trying to integrate it with my company's Azure DevOps, or rather one specific project/repo in that.
After some quick googling, I found a tutorial (which I followed) that involved installing some software through eclipse for Team Explorer Everywhere, a plugin that supposedly performs this automation. However, after installing said plugin and attempting to connect to my company's Devops project, I get stuck in an authentication loop. More specifically, once I point it to the project's url from Azure Devops and give it the correct credentials, Eclipse asks me to click a link and paste a code it gives me into a field in that link once I sign in on the web. I do this, and the website tells me that authentication has been successful and that I should close the browser window. So, I do that. Then I hit "OK" in Eclipse, and the popup I've been in closes.
Now, this is where one might THINK that I would be connected to the Azure repo, but instead when the popup closes it just brings me back to the part where it asks me for a project url, with no changes having been made. I can complete these steps ad infinitum with no difference.
I've tried reinstalling the plugin, using a few different versions of eclipse (like Neon), and several different source urls.
I'd love to share any error messages, but I get nothing. It just blankly returns to the start of the process. The end result I'm looking for is for my Azure repo and and an Eclipse project to be synced.

Cannot install IBM Eclipse tools for Bluemix due to network issue

I'm trying to install IBM Eclipse tools for Bluemix but getting this error:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session
context was:(profile=epp.package.jee,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=,
action=). Unable to read repository at
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/updates/wdt/kepler/plugins/com.ibm.ws.st.common.core_1.0.100.v20150220_1740.jar.
Connection reset
I tried to use solution from this dW Answers post Downloading Bluemix plugin for Eclipse... Is it even possible??? but it didn't help.
When I went and tried to manually download file by using this link : http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/updates/wdt/kepler/plugins/com.ibm.ws.st.common.core_1.0.100.v20150220_1740.jar I get an error:
This webpage is not available
But when I changed link to use https as following, it works:
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/updates/wdt/kepler/plugins/com.ibm.ws.st.common.core_1.0.100.v20150220_1740.jar
So, my question is how can I redirect all "problematic" links to correct web site? In other words, is it possible to one url to another url?
Thank you.
UPDATE:
Tried to install this plugin at home and everything worked. I suspect that something wrong with a network on a work, will ask our admins to try to investigate the issue and post it back if we'll discover something interesting.
UPDATE 2
Confirmed by admins. It was a temporary network issue.
here is the last updated guide for Eclipse Bluemix tool plugin, which should be always used to install this plugin for the first time, in order to be sure on using the right version
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#manageapps/eclipsetools/eclipsetools.html#eclipsetools
At the following url a shorted version with Eclipse installation link:
https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/starters/deploy_eclipsetools.html
Your issue could be related to an obsolete reference updated with a new release version for the plugin.

Eclipse with TFS plugin - endless login loop

I have a problem in eclipse with the tfs plugin. I try to login and it stuck in some kind of login loop.
I looked here and in google. Nothing help.
I found this posts:

I tried to clean cookies and password and everything possible in IE
I reinstalled the plugin. I updated everything possible, checked for eclipse indigo last version (3.2.7)
Nothing worked. Anyone can help me?
The forum posts you referenced are about the Team Foundation Service, not the on-premise server. Since the service uses Microsoft Accounts (previously known as Live Id's) it depends on cookies in your browser.
The on-premise version of Team Foundation Server uses your domain account which isn't stored as a cookie, but which is stored in the Windows Credentials Vault by default for Windows processes. Try going through the stored credentials to make sure your username/password or TFS server isn't mentioned there. If it is, either update it or remove it.
Can you verify whether the same account settings are correctly picked up by Visual Studio/Team Explorer (if you have it installed on the same machine)? Eclipse and Team Explorer should use the same credential vault.

what is the official/active home of the MercurialEclipse plugin?

I'm having trouble finding the official home of the MercurialEclipse plugin (is there one?), and I have a weird feeling there are actually multiple projects by this name.
Here are some of the projects I've found:
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/mercurialeclipse/
http://www.javaforge.com/project/HGE
http://www.intland.com/products/mercurialeclipse/overview/
https://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/main/wiki/Home
See also this ticket I filed: http://www.javaforge.com/issue/23290
It appears the home has moved back to bitbucket.
https://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/main
At least that is where active bugs/feature_requests are supposed to be filed, according to this note.
New project home on Bitbucket
Furthermore, as of today (9/20/12):
javaforge is at MercurialEclipse 1.9.1
bitbucket is at MercurialEclipse 2.0
The MercurialEclipse 2.0 version has shifted to using JavaHg for its mercurial interactions.
Since Intland Software (owners of JavaForge) are developing and maintaining the plugin, the official web site is http://www.intland.com/products/mercurialeclipse/overview/, and their official project page http://www.javaforge.com/project/HGE.
The BitBucket page stems from the time when the plugin was developed by Vectrace, but they transferred the project maintenance to Intland, so it’s no longer relevant.
Regarding the Google Code page, see http://www.jroller.com/andyl/entry/how_open_is_mercurialeclipse — At some point in time Intland started requiring a login to JavaForge to use the plugin, which provoked a let’s say... vivid response. However they reverted this behaviour quickly, and as Intland has contributed so much to the project, I forgive them. Before they jumped in, the project had stagnated. In the meanwhile one of the original Vectrace developers of the project created this Google Code project though. If you are sympathetic to that, I guess you could consider the Google Code project the official repository.
The google code one should be the official home.
However to install it the official update site is :
http://mercurialeclipse.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg.wiki/update_site/stable
Gone restricted again at intland:
www.intland.com/products/mercurialeclipse/overview/
www.intland.com/products/other-products/
Their codebeamer tracker and repo is stuck on 1.9.1:
www.javaforge.com/project/HGE
So i guess, bye bye javaforge.
Both code.google.com and bitbucket.org projects have code and are accepting issues.
code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/mercurialeclipse/
bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/main/overview
Of these, bitbucket seems to be more up to date.
They mention however the same URL for eclipse installer:
http://mercurialeclipse.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg.wiki/update_site/stable
