In this exercise, you are going to import the MyShuttle2 repo within your organization into to your VM for editing in Eclipse.

Note

These Hands-On Labs use a virtual machine with a Java environment configured by our partner, Northwest Cadence.

Learn how to connect to the Java VM environment here.

Prerequisites

This exercise assumes you have completed the Azure DevOps Services Java project setup tutorial, have created a Team Project that uses Git for version control, and imported the MyShuttle2 GitHub repo into your team project. This exercise uses a team project named jdev, though your team project name may differ.

Note

The Team Explorer Everywhere plugin works with Eclipse versions 4.2 (Juno) - 4.6 (Neon).
