The Azure Toolkit for JetBrains Rider is a fork of the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ, available on GitHub.
Microsoft's Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ provides similar functionality to the Azure plugin
for JetBrains Rider, however, focus on the Java/JVM ecosystem and development flows.
JetBrains decided to fork the original plugin, and split base functionality (such as browsing Azure resources) from
Java/JVM-specific features (such as deploying a .war file to the HDInsight service).
The Azure Toolkit for JetBrains Rider is released with several notable differences:
- No telemetry or usage data is collected and sent to Microsoft
- Java/JVM-specific functionality was removed
- .NET-specific functionalities, such as deploying an ASP.NET web application and more, have been added
Please see the contribution instructions if you wish to build the plugin from source.
