Several weeks ago, I announced that we’d be removing the price on the Team Foundation Server Eclipse plug-in. One of the benefits of this change (aside from begin cheaper 
) is that it’s easier to keep your plug-in up to date because we can use the standard Eclipse update mechanisms.
Team Explorer Everywhere is now on the Eclipse Marketplace…
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/tfs-plug-eclipse
and we have an Eclipse update site…
http://dl.microsoft.com/eclipse/tfs
Of course, update site links are to be entered into Eclipse for update notifications, etc – not viewed with a browser.

We'd love to have TFS integration with MonoDevelop (we write cross-platform C# code using MonoTouch and MonoDevelop on MacOS, as well as Visual Studio on Windows). I don't know whether this is something that Microsoft might develop, or whether you're leaving it to the community. It would be nice to have an idea.
This is of course a better way for Eclipse developer to find it and install it especially after it becomes free!
Hey Brian, thanks for this update. However, the Eclipse Marketplace installer fails to install the plug-in from the marketplace. It says that the path dl.micosoft.com/…/tfs is not a valid repository location. When I hit that URL directly I get "Error. Page cannot be displayed. Please contact your service provider for more details. (13)".
Thanks @naqahdah – we're just looking into the issues with the update site right now as entering dl.microsoft.com/…/tfs in as an update site should have worked and it is not at this time.
In the meantime you can download TEE 2010 with SP1 from here (http://www.microsoft.com/…/details.aspx) and TEE 11 Beta from here (http://www.microsoft.com/…/details.aspx). Apologies.
@naqahdah – apologies, just noticed that the URL you were pointing to had a typo in it and was missing the "R" of Microsoft. If you manually enter dl.microsoft.com/…/tfs as the update site then that should work great.
We're looking into the Eclipse Marketplace Client issues. I think this is because TEE 2010 uses the old update site format (i.e. site.xml based) to support the very old (pre-p2) versions of Eclipse that we support. TEE 11 drops support for these older versions and so with TEE11 we have a P2 style update site which I'm hoping will work better. However, I'm testing those issues right now and will figure it out.
Thanks for your feedback, sorry for the confusion.
Martin.
Thanks Martin, however the misspelled url is part of the package that is out on the Eclipse Marketplace so I don't believe I can change it. That url is populated by default when trying to install the package.
Ok, I'm with you now Martin. I'm not to experienced with Eclipse (long live VS). I was able to use the correct url directly to install TFS Everywhere. Thanks for your assistance.
