Teamprise Client Suite Overview
Access Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 or 2008 Team Foundation Server from within the Eclipse IDE, and from Macintosh and UNIX Systems. Teamprise is a suite of client applications for accessing Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 Team Foundation Server from outside of the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Teamprise enables software development teams to use the source control, work item tracking, documents, and reporting features of Team Foundation Server from within the Eclipse IDE, and from other operating systems, including Windows based, Linux and Mac OS X.

Implemented in Java, Teamprise will run on operating systems that support a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4 or newer. Using the Teamprise Client Suite in conjunction with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 Team System, enterprise companies can standardize on the use of Microsoft's Team Foundation Server for the Application Life-Cycle Management needs of both their .NET and Java development teams.
