The Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse provides first-class support for the [Cloud Foundry PaaS] (http://www.cloudfoundry.com/). It allows you to directly deploy applications from your workspace to a running Pivotal CF server instance, view and manage deployed applications and services, start and stop applications.
Java 7 is now a minimum execution environment requirement to install and run Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse. Please make sure your Eclipse or STS is using a Java 7 or higher JRE.
Go to the [Eclipse Marketplace] (https://marketplace.eclipse.org/) and search for "Cloud Foundry". You will find the release of the Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse and can install that into your existing Eclipse installation. An Eclipse JEE package is recommended.
When using the Spring Tool Suite, please make sure to upgrade to the latest STS release and then go to the Dashboard -> Extensions and select the Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse from there.
You can always install the latest release of the Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse from here:
http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/cloudfoundry
(put this URL into the "Install New Software" dialog of your Eclipse)
Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse 1.5.0 and higher, as well as the nightly update site and master development branch, now only support v2 Pivotal CF organizations and spaces.
V1 support for api.cloudfoundry.com as well as v1 micro and local clouds, is no longer available.
The latest Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse can be update from within STS/Eclipse starting from version 1.0.0. Updates from prior versions are not supported, and any version of Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse earlier than 1.0.0 (e.g. M4 and M5 closed-source versions) must be uninstalled first before newer versions of the plug-in can be installed.
Once you have the Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse installed from the update sites mentioned here, you will get updates automatically.
You can always install the latest bits and pieces of the project from the update site that is automatically produced by the continuous integration build. This always reflects the latest development, so you might observe some interesting behavior here and there, and it is not guaranteed to be stable.
