A Glimps at Teamprise Interfaces
by Olga Belokurskaya
Today, Brian Harry has confirmed the purchase of the Teamprise Client Suite. So now, Visual Studio products and Teamprise combined will offer better ALM solutions. Surely, the main of them is the possibility to do java development within VS.
Teamprise Client Suite includes Eclipse Plug-in, Stand-alone Explorer, and Command line client. All three components are declared to work perfectly on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and several Unix versions.
Eclipse plug-in gives java developers the interaction with TFS and, actually, the possibility to participate in software development process together with NET developers within TFS but staying in the development environment they got used to.
Stand-alone Explorer is a combination of Eclipse functionalities into a stand-alone, cross-platform natively looking GUI application designed for development team members working outside of a development IDE.
Command line client is a cross-platform, non-graphical interface to TFS for scripting and build scenarios or for developers who are fond of command-line interfaces.
Below, there are some screenshots of the Eclipse plug-in. Frankly, it looks almost like the Visual Studio Team Explorer, only a bit “Eclipsized.”
