Note
The Storage Accounts feature in Azure Explorer is deprecated. You can utilize the Azure portal to create and manage storage accounts and containers. See the Azure Storage documentation for quickstarts on how to manage storage accounts.
Azure Explorer, which is part of the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse, provides Java developers with an easy-to-use solution for managing storage accounts in their Azure account from inside the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE).
