Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry

Eclipse Tools for Cloud Foundry (CFT) is a framework that provides first-class support for the [Cloud Foundry PaaS] (http://docs.cloudfoundry.org). It allows users to directly deploy applications from their Eclipse workspace to a running Cloud Foundry server instance, as well as view and manage deployed applications and services.

Cloud Foundry vendors can also contribute their own Cloud Foundry target definitions for users of the tools through various extension points provided by the framework.

CFT is a project under Eclipse Cloud Development:

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd.cft

CFT integrates into and requires Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP).

CFT is also part of the Eclipse Simultaneous Release, and we follow the Eclipse Simultaneous Release cycle.

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Simultaneous_Release

IMPORTANT NOTE: Breaking Bundle and Extension Point Changes

All bundle names and extension point IDs have been renamed, therefore new versions of CFT are NOT backward compatible with any older versions of the plug-in, previously known as Cloud Foundry Eclipse, that used bundle names starting with:

org.cloudfoundry.ide.eclipse.server

Any older versions of the tools need to be manually uninstalled FIRST before installing CFT. This applies to Cloud Foundry Eclipse version 1.8.3 and older.

CLA and Third-Party Pull Requests

All third-party contributors are required to sign an Eclipse CLA before Pull Requests are merged into the repository, pending review and acceptance of the submitted Pull Request.

https://wiki.eclipse.org/CLA

In addition to signing the Eclipse CLA, your Pull Request must not have merge conflicts with the master branch, so please be sure to synchronize with master branch before creating your Pull Request.

Update Sites

The nightly CFT driver can be installed using this URL:

http://download.eclipse.org/cft/nightly/

(place this URL into the "Install New Software" dialog of your Eclipse)

It contains our latest changes and is not guaranteed to be fully stable.

To install stable milestones or releases, please refer to the list of sites under "Update Sites":

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd.cft/downloads

You can also install from the Eclipse Marketplace. In Eclipse, go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace and search for "Cloud Foundry".

The marketplace page is: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/cloud-foundry-integration-eclipse

Running CFT JUnit Tests

Instructions on running the CFT JUnit tests can be found here:

CFT JUnit Instructions

WARNING: Running the CFT JUnit will DELETE all applications and services from the target Cloud Foundry space. Use great care when setting the CF target to use for the JUnit.

Raising Bugs, Feature Requests, Mailing List

Bugs and feature requests should be raised via bugzilla under product "CFT":

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=CFT

We also encourage you to subscribe to our cft-dev mailing list, as we frequently post updates on CFT there, including milestone and release information.

It's also a good place to ask questions to the devs.

https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cft-dev

Installation

Java 7 is a minimum execution environment required to install and run CFT. Please make sure that your Eclipse is using Java 7 or higher.

Offline Installation

Release and milestone versions of CFT can be installed offline using one of the release update site zip files listed below. Once the zip file is available in an offline environment, CFT can be installed following these steps in Eclipse or STS:

Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archive

Browse to the location of the zip file, and installation should complete in offline mode.

Zips for the update sites can be found under "Downloads" here:

Cloud Foundry Java Client Library

CFT 1.0 uses a customized, unpublished version of the v1 Java Cloud Foundry client library. The library is Apache 2.0 license, and we maintain that library outside of Eclipse here:

https://github.com/nierajsingh/cf-java-client/tree/cft-1.0.0-java-client-1.1.4-patch

We plan to move to v2 client sometime after Neon release (June 23, 2016). Please subscribe to our mailing list to get updates on progress towards v2, as well as check bugzilla under "CFT" product.

Once we move to v2, we will no longer support v1.

More information on the v2 client is available here:

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-java-client

Getting started

The basic steps for using CFT are described here:

http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/java/sts.html

Note that this description is targeted at users of Spring Tool Suite, but similar steps apply for other Eclipse JEE users.

Hudson Builds

We build CFT nightly, milestones, and releases using Hudson:

https://hudson.eclipse.org/cft/

Building the project

The CFT uses Maven Tycho to do continuous integration builds and to produce p2 repos and update sites. To build the tooling yourself, you can execute:

mvn -Pe43 package

Check the parent pom in master branch for additional profiles under "profiles". We build against the latest Eclipse, so you should be able to find a profile for the latest Eclipse that you can pass to mvn:
