Anybody know how to connect eclipse to tfs express via GIT, or even if it is possible?
The only help link I have seen in tfs express was this one.
But that one looks to be more aimed at the online version of tfs instead of express.
Yes it's supported. The TFS express is the free version of standard TFS. Here is the detailed introduction.
From OP:
The problem was, needed to:
Enable basic authentication on "team foundation server\TFS" in IIS
It is possible to connect tfs to eclipse via git. In order to do this you need to install an eclipse plugin - egit.
Recent versions of Eclipse come with the EGit plugin already installed. However if your version doesn't have it already, you can easily install it. These are steps to install the plugin
Click on Help In the menu bar.
Select MarketPlace
In the searchbox type EGit
click the Install button

Installed on my Windows 7 (32-bit) computer is ClearCase Explorer 8.0.1.9 and Eclipse Java IDE 4.7.2 (Oxygen) and JDK 1.8.0_161.
I am looking for suitable plugin so that I can perform check-out / check-in to ClearCase from Eclipse workbench.
I found a plugin on sourceforge but I would prefer something from IBM.
Also I cannot use the newer product ClearTeam Explorer, I must use ClearCase Explorer.
Try using cleartool command line options to checkout or checkin.
it is very simple and got clean response.
Do integrate batch commands with Eclipse

You'll need to update your clearcase client to 9.0.0.6/9.0.1.2 or later to use the cte plugins that support that release of eclipse. 8.0.1.x tops out at 4.6.
The plugin mentioned by #Elyahu is last updated in 2013, and may not work with a current eclipse/jvm release.
As I remarked, in any case Eclipse is not an IBM tool, so you can find any suitable plugin you find on the net.
That one is an IBM one, but for lower ClearCase versions, but it might be OK, since its only a plugin, and you only need a check-out <-> check-in ability

Since you have mentioned you have 'ClearCase Explorer 8.0.1.9 ', I assume that you have installed it in your computer/VM/asset.
During installation of Clearcase, there is option you can select to install 'CTEUpdateSite'. If you enable that option, you will see /CTEUpdateSite directory. You can configure it in your eclipse Help--> Install Software, Add a 'Local' location so that those plugins will get installed. Post Installation you will able to do all ClearCase operations from Eclipse IDE itself.
I just downloaded a fresh Eclipse JEE Neon.1a Release (4.6.1) on my Windows 10 machine.
I went to the marketplace to get the latest Subversive SVN Team Provider 4.0.2.
Trying to install results in the Message: The following solutions are not available: SVN Team Provider 4.0.2.
I chose to continue anyways, and it seemed to work.
After the restart, i chose the SVNKit 1.8.14 Subversive SVN Connector and installed without any issues.
Now I was able to do basic SVN operations, all seemed fine.
Except to share a new project. I created a new Project called "test" and tried to share as a new project.
That results in the Message:
Share project was failed.
Can't overwrite cause with org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E160013: URL 'http://sol:3380/svn/repo/test' non-existent in that revision.
I tried to share a new project to another SVN Server, same error message.
I repeated the whole process on different machines, same message.
I Installed SVN Team Provider directly from the Update Site instead of the Marketplace. Same Issue.
I went to the SVNKit website to try older Versions of SVNKit and installed via the archived Update Sites, but they wont even show up in the SVN Connector Chooser in Eclipse.
I really dont know what to do anymore, can anyone help me to get it work?
I hope this solution will help you as it helped me. I think your problem is related to an unmatched client/server version. Neon subversive version is 4 and related svn connector is 1.8. But you probably need an svn connector 1.7 as it was in my case. Try the next steps and let me know if it works. Otherwise let me know the point in which you get in trouble.
go to help > installation details > filter by "svn" > uninstall everything related to subversive, subclipse and svn connectors
restart eclipse
to to help > install new software > work with > use the previous major subversive version from this URL: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/3.0/update-site/
install at least the plug-in and the integrations
restart eclipse
it will probably not ask you for a connector to be installed because you have already installed one previously, so go to window > preferences > team > svn > svn connector tab > get connectors > 1.7! (you can install all of them, the important thing is the one you choose in the combo box, it must be 1.7)
try the svn check-out process again
bye!
Bug was fixed yesterday. So just update.
I uninstalled the SVNKit 1.8.14, and it worked for me.
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.
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
I am a brand new Linux user configuring my first-ever dev sandbox in Ubuntu. I have installed Java and Eclipse and am trying to get either Subversive or Subclipse (I don't have a preference either way) but have a few questions before I start that process.
I just opened Synaptic and downloaded subversion through it.
(1) I'm not really sure how SVN deploys locally. My understanding is that SVN has a client and a server; the server manages the repository(ies) and the clieent just sends commands to the server. Is this correct? If so, then what did I download through Synaptic? The client, and/or the server?
(2) Do these Eclipse plugins come with SVN (client or server...?) or do you have to pre-install SVN prior to installing these plugins? Basically: is SVN a pre-req for Subclipse or Subversive?
Looking back at these 2 questions if someone could first explain to me the architecture of SVN, then explain how that architecture translates to downloading SVN via Synaptic, and then how it translates to downloading/installing either Eclipse plugin, I would see the "big picture" a lot better.
Thanks for any and all help!
I use subclipse with svnkit. Both can be installed from update site of subclipse. Works fine. No other sotware needed. You need to set svnkit instead of javahl. This can be done in preferences.
Installation Help/install new software.
Update sites depending on the version:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
Setting window/preferences. (pick svkit at bottom):
You downloaded the SVN server. You can have multiple SVN clients connecting to it.
The Eclipse plugins do not come with SVN. You need to download them.
Once you install the plugin, you can connect to SVN repositories. If you want to connect to your own SVN repository, of course you need to install SVN and create it first.
However, with just the plugin installed, you can connect to any existing public repositories, or any other SVN repository to which you have access.
Example: If you install the plugin, without installing SVN, you can connect to this Apache Repository.
Hope that answers your questions.
1º question: You are correct. About Synaptic, I think it's the server one.
2º question: No, it isn't! Eclipse's plugin it's the client and you don't need to install the SVN outside the IDE. It's all embedded.
More info that could be useful:
How to configure SVN in Eclipse using Assembla repository:
Create or open your existing project in Eclipse.
Be sure that the SVN's plugin it's correctly installed into Eclipse.
Copy your project's url at the Assembla's web site.
Click with the right button over the project > Team > Share Project > SVN
At the showed window, copy the path to your project into the URL field. Remember of /trunk at the end of URL.
Inform your user (watch out, it's your user, not your e-mail) and password into the required fields and check the option: Save Authentication, otherwise your login and password will be required all the time.
Click over Finish.
The commit's screen will open for you add some comment and upload the files of your project. Remember that even being a new project, Eclipse will create all the default folder's structure for the project.
Click at Ok and it's done! Your code will be uploaded to the Assembla's online server.
Now open the Assemblas's web site, access the trunk folder into your repository and then explore your project's source code. Try the comments and see the automatic format applied over the code so it become more readable.
Here it's some advantages of Assembla service:
Unlimited useres working in the same project.
Easiness of use, create, import projects and use all the service, besides of huge documentation and support.
1 GB of space.
Online access to the source code, with the possibility of comment it.
Encrypt data traffic.
Integration with many tools of the site, which are excellent, but payed separately.
Possibility of, at any moment, hire any of the payed services, which offers an incredible amount of benefits for a fair price. (Look at the services list).
If so, then what did I download through Synaptic? The client, and/or the server?
From the Subversion package description in Ubuntu 10.10:
This package includes the Subversion client (svn), tools to create a Subversion repository (svnadmin) and to make a repository available over a network (svnserve).
So you have both the client software, and the software to create and serve your own repositories.
(2) Do these Eclipse plugins come with SVN (client or server...?)
No, you need to install subclipse.
do you have to pre-install SVN prior to installing these plugins?
As long as you install it via a package, you don't have to worry about this. The package management in ubuntu will make sure that any dependencies are installed automatically. AFAIK all package management systems of gnu\linux distributions of note have this feature.
The easiest way:
Help --> Eclipse MarketPlace, search subclipse, click install, and then follow the instructions to finish up the installation process.
One way to clear up your confusion could be to first use a free hosted Subversion repository, such as http://assembla.com.
Then you can download all of the SVN clients, including the Subclipse plugin, and commit a test project to the SVN repository on Assembla.
I recommend Subclipse as it's allegedly supposed to play nicer with other Subversion clients, which means you'll be able to use command line SVN as well as the Team context menu in Eclipse.
http://subclipse.tigris.org/
After playing with this configuration and being sure your client side is correctly configured, then you could look into installing a subversion server locally. Eliminating variables by clearly separating client and server will definitely help you avoid confusion at first.
