Convert TFS workspace from local to server in Eclipse - eclipse

I'm using Eclipse with Team Explorer Everywhere plugin and I cannot find button to edit workspace properties as in Visual Studio. So how can I convert TFS workspace from local to server in Eclipse under Linux OS?

When you create or edit a workspace, you can specify whether its location is Local or Server. To edit the workspace follow below steps:
In Project Explorer or Package Explorer, right-click an
Eclipse project that is under version control, point to Team,
and click Manage Workspaces.
The Workspaces dialog box appears. It shows you the list of your Team Foundation Server workspaces.
Then select the one you want to convert, click Edit; the Edit Workspace dialog box appears just as
below screenshot:
Note: Local workspaces are only supported for Team Foundation Server 2012 and above.

Subclipse not showing the SVN data in package explorer and team options not available

I installed completely from scratch adt latest version with Juno, and I installed the latest subclipse plug-in (1.10) from the update site. However, once everything is installed I am not able to see the SVN data in the package explorer and in the context menu on the file no team option is available.
How can I investigate what's happening behind? I have not been able to find anything helping in google.
Some information from suggestions below:
I was having a previous installation of juno and I started from scratch in a new folder.
I am using the same workspace as before.
I have tried using subclipse alone, subversive alone and both installed at the same time.
The folder in workspace is recognized by Tortoise in windows, no corruption on SVN folder.
If you do not see the Share Project option in the Team menu, then I would guess the issue is that you are reusing an existing workspace and you had Subversive plugin, not Subclipse installed, and these projects were already connected to Subversive. So the Eclipse framework thinks it is associated with Subversive, but that plugin is not available to add its options to the Team menu.
Create a new workspace is one option. Install Subversive is another option.
UPDATE:
If you do see the Share Project option, then that is your answer. You need to take that option to "connect" your project to your SCM plugin. Projects that are already in your workspace when you install a new SCM plugin do not get connected to your SCM automatically. You have to take Team > Share Project to make the connection.
SOLUTION THAT WORKED:
For recognizing the existing installation of SVN you need to use Team > Share Project and then select the proper version control tool (SVN this case), automatically will associated SVN to the project.

how to use subclipse with eclipse

I want to download the android-pdf project using subclipse with Eclipse. I have installed subclipse on Eclipse and restarted Eclipse. I have tried going to File>Import but although there is a CVS option I cannot see a SVN option. The project is on Google Project Hosting, I have clicked on 'import Google Hosted Project' from the Eclipse taskbar - that displays the 'Select Google Hosted Project' but no projects are displayed. I hope someone will be able to help me download this project.
This question was posted long time back but I am replying for someone coming to this link. One can check this link also. Here is the complete step by step process of installing and connecting to google code:
Go to Eclipse Help menu and click on "Install New Software"
Install Subclipse:
Add the following site for subclipse
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.10.x/
Select both "Subclipse" and "SVNKit" from the names which appear after adding the subclipse link
Click Next, accept conditions and let eclipse download and install subclipse
Now restart Eclipse after the installation
Subclipse will be ready to use now
Go to "preferences" under the windows menu
Go to "Team" in the left menu and then select "SVN" sub-menu
In the "General SVN Setting" select Team and "SVN" sub-menu
Select SVNKit (Pure Java)--- in the "SVN interface" drop-down menu
Next step is to connect subclipse with google code
First we have to create a project. Instructions for creating a project can be found on
Creating Project on Google Code
Once a project has been created on the Google Code, Subclipse has to be connected to the project.
Go to Eclipse, Click on "Windows" menu, "Show View" and select "Other"
Select "SVN' and "SVN Repositories" and click OK.
Right Click in the "SVN Repositories" tab and choose "New" - "Repository Location"
"Add SVN Repository" window opens.
For the Location URL, give your URL which should be like https://your_url.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
In my case the URL is "https://agent-desktop.googlecode.com/svn/trunk" for the project which was created in Creating Project on Google Code post. Click Finish after providing the URL
After Finishing you will be asked for the username and the password
this password can be found on project home page under the SVN tab. Search for the link googlecode.com password
Under the Source -> Checkout, Click the link (googlecode.com password) and save the generated password.
Now the Subclipse is connected to the Google code
If you do not see a "SVN" group in the File > Import dialog then that implies Subclipse is not installed. If it were installed, there would be nothing preventing that grouping from being displayed.
I would normally recommend opening the SVN Repository perspective and adding the repository. But I would guess you do not see that either.

How can I filter the file types I check in to TFS 2010 with Eclipse and TFS Everywhere?

I'm using TFS for java with eclipse (running TFS Everywhere).
He wants to set a filter so that files and folders beginning with '.' won't get checked in.
How do I set it?
Is that a server or client side filter?
Do I set it in Eclipse, or in Team Explorer?
You can filter the types of files that are ignored by the TFS plug-in for Eclipse using the Team Project ignore functionality of the plug-in, which is exposed by .tpignore files.
If you're using the SP1 of the TFS plug-in for Eclipse (and we'd recommend upgrading, if you haven't) then you can simply right-click on the folder and select Team > Ignore.

TFS support for netbeans ide

I need to checkout and manage a project from TFS (Team Foundation Server) and was wondering if there is an easy way to do this.
I usually use SVN, but for this particular project, TFS is a requirement.
The best way I've found so far with a bit of Googling is at http://marceloverdijk.blogspot.com/2009/01/grails-netbeans-and-microsoft-team.html
Short answer, no I don't think there is any easy way to integrate the Netbeans IDE and TFS. However there are some options.
Firstly you could use the SVN bridge this allows subversion clients to connect to TFS. If that is viable then you should be good to go. Here are a couple of blog posts that you may find useful when using TFS if you have a SVN background. SVN to TFS. If SVN Bridge doesn't meet your needs then there are other ways to use TFS but none of them are integrated in to the Netbeans IDE.
If you're developing on Windows then you can install Team Explorer (Use the version that matches the version of TFS you're using e.g. if you're connecting to TFS 2010 then install Team Explorer 2010), this will install a Visual Studio Shell and the Team Explorer plugin. Along side that it will install the "tf" command line utility, you then have a choice of using either a GUI with the VS plugin, or the command line.
You should also install the TFS power tools, they add some usefull functionality such as extra command line tools (using the "tfpt" command) they will also install windows explorer integration, this will allow you to do some basic Source Control functions from the Right Click menu in windows explorer (Check out, check in, diff etc)
You should also look at Team Explorer Everywhere, I don't think it does Netbeans integration but it does do Eclipse. If you're developing on an OS other than Windows then this is your only option.
To use any on these tools you must have a TFS CAL to be licenced properly. If you have an MSDN licence that will probably include a CAL, if not then someone needs to spend some cash and buy one :-).
Since TFS started to support Git repositories, it is possible to:
create TFS project for Git
after project creation use url from Code tab
to configure Git Repository Location in NetBeans IDE
Once you have the tf.exe (from Visual Studio or Team Explorer) there is a plugin that can be configured to do the TFS commands from NetBeans:
Download plugin from: http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=676
Install the plugin in NetBeans: Tools\Plugins\Downloaded\Add Plugins…
Configure the plugin in NetBeans: Tools\Options\Path Tools
At Edit Commands For File enter: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\tf" checkout "{path}"
Press Ok
With a file selected in the editor, or the package explorer press the “Edit Path…” toolbar button.
The file is now checked out in TFS.
Make sure to use the proper path to tf.exe.
There are 3 buttons, so you can configure 3 TFS actions (I use checkout, add, delete).
Microsoft actively supports only Eclipse for TFS integration.
At this page there are more info and the possibility to upvote, to report your interest in such a feature directly to Microsoft.
In NB 8.2 you can setup Kenai Team Server.
then you will be able to login into a team server : menu Team->Team Server -> login
