TFS 2010 : The TFS SDK for Java is available

After releasing TeamExplorer Everywhere 2010, Microsoft continues to open TeamFoundation Server to non Microsoft development by publishing the TFS SDK for Java! You can download it at the following address:

You will get :

  • A unique JAR containing the TFS API. This is the same code that TeamExplorer Everywhere uses.
  • Some native code used by the TFS API. (Kerberos authentication, Keychain, …).
  • The complet  API documentation in Javadoc format.
  • Code samples.

Microsoft has also make an effort to respect Java conventions so that Java developer are not “lost”.
