CollabNet Desktops for Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio

Unify Access to all CollabNet Enterprise Applications from your IDE

CollabNet Desktop – Eclipse Edition and CollabNet Desktop – Visual Studio Edition unify access to functionality available in the CollabNet platform:

• Source Code Management: access your CollabNet Subversion repositories and perform all Subversion- related activities directly from your development environment. In addition, the CollabNet Desktops include a powerful interface for merge tracking, graphical conflict resolution, and tree conflict handling.
• Requirements, Issue Tracking, Project Management, Collaboration: easily open requirements documents, link code changes to issues, manage timelines, and search discussion forums and wikis across projects. Define custom queries and set your own monitoring rules to narrow focus to the things you care about.
• Continuous Build & Test Integration: push code to a continuous integration server. Access issues logged automatically to your issue tracking system for unsuccessful builds, or manage file releases resulting from successful builds. You set the rules that drive build behavior and alerts.
• Lab Management: dynamically provision build and test servers right from your IDE.

Provide instant access to projects and avoid lengthy configuration

It’s easy to get up and running with CollabNet Desktops! Provide only a URL and credentials for initial setup, and immediately see a list of all your projects. Configuration and access to related Subversion repositories for source code management, issue tracking, documents and other project artifacts are completed automatically behind the scenes. No additional configuration is required, so useful information is available immediately without the hassle.

Increase Team Productivity

• Team members work in their tool of choice and/or the tool that is most appropriate for their job function.
• Information flows between tools automatically, reducing effort and increasing reliability.
• Rich desktop-based enhances ease–of–use allowing team members to perform key functions more efficiently.

Accelerate time to market

Efficiency gains from using a focused tool translate to time and cost savings. When combined with other CollabNet Integrations, such as the CollabNet Connector to HP Quality Center, information between teams can be shared more quickly and delivered to users in the tool they use most.
