Prerequisites

  1. TeamCity plugin uses VCS integration with Subversion, Git, and Perforce. That is, you should have installed Eclipse integration plugins for mentioned VCS:

    • Subclipse or Subversive, for integration with SVN
      • .
    • P4WSAD 2008.1, 2008.2, 2009.1 or 2009.2 integration plugin for Perforce. Please make sure you initialize Perforce support (for example, perform project update) after opening the project before using TeamCity Remote Run.
    • jGit/eGit plugin for Git version control.
  2. Eclipse must be run under JDK 1.5 for the TeamCity plugin to work.

TeamCity plugin allows running builds remotely and committing changes for supported version control systems, even if there is no Eclipse-integration plugin for the version control system installed. To use this feature, you need to create .teamcity-mappings.properties configuration mapping file. See TeamCity Command Line Remote Run Tool documentation for more information about configuring.
