I am using Team Foundation Explorer plug-in for Eclipse on OSX. Is there a way to get a view like the one that Visual Studio shows you in Eclipse?
For example:
inside the team explorer view,you choose Home-> Source control explorer

I am using Eclipse Oxygen with TFS 2013 and have installed TeamExplorerEverywhere plugin for working with the TFS repository. Whenever I try to create or open a work item it tries to do it with the web browser (IE of course...).
How do I make it open the work item open within Eclipse. I haven't seen anything in the preferences that could help.
I have just installed Oxygen as previously I work with Eclipse Kepler and the old TFS plugin opened everything within Eclipse.
Thanks
Sorry, I'm afraid this is by designed for now (version 14.123.1):
The browser based work item editor replaced with an External Web
Browser.
Source Link: team-explorer-everywhere Release
For old version, there has been a Embedded work item Editor, you could right click the work item and select open with, take a look at this blog.
Actually, open work items in a web browser window is also a trend now. In the newly Visual Studio Version, the default behavior is also opening from web directly. This brings many benefits. If you are interested, add some threads for your reference:
Work items now open in the web from Visual Studio ’15’
Work Item only in web
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.
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
My ultimate goal is to completely migrate eclipse (mars) project into Visual Studio environment.
During my research, I have tried several options:
1) Create project from existing code. Doesn't apply to my case, since my project is a combination of .java and .jsp files, wizard only offers C++, C#, Visual Basic options.
2) TFS plugin for eclipse.
3) Checking in the project from eclipse into tfs.
Within the third option, I am planning to create a new team project, and check in the project from eclipse based on that article manual.
My question is will I be able to open and operate project I checked in inside VS environment?
I am also opened to any other suggestion, which might help me resolve that problem.
If you have an Eclipse project and you want to move to something like Visual Studio there are three options:
Java Language Support plugin
Visual Studio Code
Java Language Service for Android and Eclipse Android Project Import
Except for the latest, I expect you have to review the build script to make it work in the new environment.
TFS/VSTS is language agnostic and has no interested in IDE and has no "project conversion" support.
No, sharing(check in) the project in Team Foundation server just means to source control the code. You can't directly using them in VS environment.
However you can download the project and work on it locally(local eclipse). Then check in the changes to TFS server. More details please refer: Importing Projects from Team Foundation Server
Here is a tutorial includes step-by-step instructions to help you get
started with the Team Foundation Server plug-in for Eclipse.
Team Foundation Server Plug-in for Eclipse - Beginner's Guide
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.
