Tasktop's Microsoft TFS connector makes TFS a first-class citizen of the Eclipse Mylyn ALM ecosystem, enabling developers to access TFS from the Mylyn task list within Eclipse and providing interoperability with more than 70 ALM solutions. The TFS Connector also fully supports Mylyn's task-focused interface technology that tracks and displays only the source code, documents and web pages that are relevant for a given TFS work item. With the Connector and Tasktop for the Visual Studio IDE, development teams using Microsoft's ALM tools in heterogeneous environments now have access to Mylyn's integration and task-focused productivity benefits.

Microsoft addresses the need for TFS integration in Eclipse with Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE), a companion product for the Visual Studio suite that provides Eclipse-based access to both the TFS source code repository and work items. Tasktop's TFS Connector can be installed alongside TEE and augments it with Mylyn task list integration, the task-focused interface productivity technology, and interoperability with Mylyn's ALM ecosystem.

Microsoft TFS Mylyn connector is now available with the latest Tasktop Dev Enterprise download. Tasktop also provides a standalone desktop application option for those who don't use Eclipse but need to access TFS work items on Mac or Linux platforms.
