If a few weeks ago we saw how to integrate the effects of Jira Eclipse , now we'll see how to do the same with Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS).

For certain projects we are forced to use TFS for version control, but in our case we use it from Eclipse using a plugin developed by Teamprise . At the end of 2009 Microsoft bought the company with what the plugin is now called Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer Everywhere , almost nothing , So it's part of Visual Studio.

The final step of integration is the cost to access the TFS from the integrated in Eclipse, Mylyn . To do so is another plugin Teamprise, Teamprise Mylyn Connector .

Installation is very simple, it is decompressed in the Eclipse folder, restart it and run. Let's see how to configure it. If you do not visualize the task list in our Eclipse, go to "Window -> Show view -> Task list", "window will appear. By clicking the right button go to "New -> Query" and the window that opens select "Add task repository."

In the new window select "Teamprise repository":

TFS data indicate:

Select the new repository created:

The project you need access:

And the kind of incidents to upload: That's all in the window "Task list" will appear the list of incidents:

As we saw in the case of Jira , from there we can see the effects, modify, create new ones, associated contexts, schedule tasks, etc..

"The downside? That does not allow filters in the incident. Just as when we saw the integration with Jira query construction was very complete, allowing multiple filters, in this case is limited to collecting all occurrences of the type indicated, failing, for example, picking only the incidents or tasks associated with our user . It is a lesser evil, yes, but limits your productivity as you have to review all incidents one by one until you find yours. In the TFS plugin itself is very similar behavior, you can not make filters in the incident, at most you can sort alphabetically by the "Assign to" and find your own, very helpful too.
