Is there a way to get the latest version for all files in a project from tfs? I'm wondering if eclipse has an easy one-click solution somewhere.
TFS offers a Team Foundation Server plug-in for Eclipse, as part of the Team Explorer Everywhere tools.
You can simply download the TFS plug-in for Eclipse from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40785
After that, you can right-click on the project itself in Package Explorer, and select "Get Latest Version" to get the entire project (recursively). You can even multi-select several projects to get the latest version in all those projects.

I am using this guide http://java.visualstudio.com/Docs/tools/eclipse#_install-the-tee-plugin-for-eclipse to install Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE) plug-in for Eclipse, but when I added the name and location, I found the available software is Azure Toolkit for Java instead of Team Explorer Everywhere.
Is there any solution or alternative way to install TFS plugin for Eclipse?
I am using Eclipse Oxygen, on macOS Sierra.
Using Eclipse Oxygen there should be both Azure Toolkit for Java & Team Explorer Everywhere.
You could try below solutions:
Directly use http://dl.microsoft.com/eclipse/tfs in
Location.
Download the latest version in
GitHub-team-explorer-everywhere and choose the way-- install the plug-in from the update site archive
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 am working with Team Foundation Server plug-in for Eclipse Version 11.0.0.
I have several Eclipse workspaces and several TFS workspaces. Is it possible to associate a TFS workspace with an Eclipse workspace?
I see that mapping local folder does not work for this purpose – the workspace remains the same
Team explorer - Pending changes - Actions - Switch workspace
Write them down.
I work on a project with a team that has this same issue. After a lot of digging it doesn't seem to be possible. It would have to be functionality in the TFS plugin also if I'm not mistaken. So until the TFS plugin is released with this ability of "mapping your mappings" so to speak, it's something you have to personally keep track of.
(Perhaps the TFS plugin for Luna will have this?)
I have a project under version control (SVN), and I am using netbenas 7.3.1 as IDE. Fortunately netbeans recognized the version control from the start, and now uses different colors to show modified, new, etc files as following:
For the second project, I am using Eclipse 3.8 (basically, Eclipse IDE is integrated into the software, and I prefer to stick with that). This project is also under version control (git), but Eclipse does not recognize it. I found out that the version control settings in Eclipse is in Team | share Project, but still can not make it work!
How can I enable version control for my second project in Eclipse in a way that I also get the coloring feature (for modified, new files, etc).
You need EGit Team provider and it is included into Eclipse Kepler Standard package or you can install it from default eclipse update site from "Collaboration" category. Add git local repository clone into Git Repositories View and use "Import Projects..." from context menu to import projects from working area into workspace. After import projects are gonna be recognized as shared through git.
I am not sure about 3.8 but previous versions of Eclipse were not bundled with Git support. You need to install plugins like EGit to add Git support to Eclipse.
Everything should be straight-forward after you have that installed :) as you seems to know the right place (Team context menu) to work with version control system.
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.
