TFS plugin for eclipse


Are there any TFS plugins available for the Eclipse IDE? We are trying to centralise our SCM, and since we also develop Java 2 EE applications, we would like to have TFS integration in eclipse.

Which plugins are available? Which have you found most useful.

I heard that Microsoft may be releasing one, does anyone know about this?

I have had a look and found the reviews of Teamprise looks good, however would like to have > 1 option!

Thanks in advance.

    There might not be a free plugin and this SO question reports several alternative to a direct Eclipse integration.
    Otherwise, there is Teamprise:

    (March 2012, mentioned in the comments by Buck Hodges, Development manager for Microsoft Team Foundation Server):

    The blog post "Even Better Access to Team Foundation Server" by Brian Harry MS announces:

    Starting today, we are eliminating the requirement to purchase Team Explorer Everywhere separately.

    • Before today,
    • Team Explorer Everywhere users had to purchase both a Client Access License (CAL) and the Team Explorer Everywhere software,
    • whereas Visual Studio Team Explorer users only had to purchase a CAL – the Visual Studio Team Explorer software has always been a free download (TE 2008, TE 2010, TE 11 Beta) for users who had a license to access a TFS server.
      Starting today the story is the same for Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE 2010 with SP1, TEE 11 Beta).
