Prerequisites

  1. To provide Remote Run, Pre-Tested (Delayed) Commit and some other features, TeamCity Plugin for Eclipse requires VCS integration with Subversion, CVS, Git, and/or Perforce. To use these features, install the corresponding plugins:
    VCS Requirement
    SVN Subclipse or Subversive
    Perforce P4Eclipse plugin

    Ensure that you have initialized the Perforce support (for example, by performing a project update) after opening the project and before using the TeamCity Remote Run feature.
    CVS CVS plugin
    Git EGit plugin
  2. Eclipse must be run under JDK 1.5 or later.
  3. TeamCity Plugin for Eclipse allows you to run builds remotely and commit 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. For more information, see the TeamCity Command Line Remote Run Tool documentation.
