Team Explorer Everywhere is the official TFS plug-in for Eclipse from Microsoft. It works on the operating system of your choice with your favorite Eclipse-based IDE and helps you collaborate across your development teams using Team Foundation Server or Visual Studio Team Services. It’s an easy-to-install standalone plug-in that is a free download provided by the same team at Microsoft that develops Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services. Note that a Team Foundation Server CAL may be required to connect to TFS, but this is not required for connecting to Visual Studio Team Services.
