Microsoft has added a page to their Microsoft Pathways site (www.microsoft.com/pathways/teamprise), for you to access the most recent information on the integration of Teamprise technologies at Microsoft and get answers to Frequently Asked Questions. The FAQ document (www.microsoft.com/pathways/teamprise/FAQ.htm) addresses many of the business questions you may have, including details of the upgrade offer to the Microsoft release of these technologies, so please be sure to review this information.
We will continue to provide technical support for Teamprise version 3.3 clients. Additionally, new licenses of Teamprise v3.3 can be purchased from us until the new release from Microsoft is available. Please note that the Teamprise Annual Maintenance Plan is no longer available. Once Microsoft releases its successor for the Teamprise product, support for the successor product will be available through normal Microsoft support offerings.
]]>The release offers a broad array of customer driven improvements, including:
"The Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse includes many enhancements our customers have asked for, especially in the areas of version control workspace management. This new release is more flexible, and provides new ways to import projects into the Eclipse workspace," said Shaw Terwilliger, software development manager for Teamprise. "We've added many features to the Command-Line Client, which makes it the ideal choice for accessing Team Foundation Server from terminal sessions and scripts on a large number of platforms."
A complete list of changes in Teamprise 3.2 can be found in the product's release notes.

Teamprise 3.2 is a free upgrade for all Teamprise 3.x customers.
]]>The Teamprise Remote Accelerator provides a considerable improvement in speed compared to connecting directly to Team Foundation Server without a version control proxy. Benchmarks reported over 400% speed improvement over a direct connection to the server. Such dramatic speed improvements are available thanks to the innovative "cache seeding" available in Teamprise Remote Accelerator, where Team Foundation Server resources are downloaded automatically to the client and cached immediately. New resources are then available immediately to the client.
Announcing the release, Edward Thomson, project lead for Teamprise Remote Accelerator, said "We first developed the Remote Accelerator for internal use, as Teamprise has many employees who work outside of our headquarters. After seeing the productivity gains, we realized that this would be very useful for other developers who use Team System remotely."
Thomson continued, "Traditional version control proxies are aimed at workgroups, where the first person to download a file takes a performance hit while the proxy fetches it from the server. Teamprise Remote Accelerator, however, is designed with the single user in mind: by downloading data from the server as it changes, the proxy always contains up-to-date information even before the client requests it."
"I am excited about this product, which adds definite value to the TFS environment for remote teams, or users like myself who access the TFS server via a broadband network while on the move.'" commented Willy-Peter Schaub, a Team System MVP. "It performs this personalized caching tremendously."
Teamprise Remote Accelerator is compatible with Visual Studio Team Editions and Teamprise clients. It retails for $99 per user and can be purchased directly from the company's online store. More information can be found on the Teamprise website, www.teamprise.com/products/accelerator/.
Also at the conference on Monday, Teamprise was giving demonstrations of the latest features being added to their Teamprise Client Suite, a suite of tools providing cross-platform and Java development teams with full access to Team Foundation Server from within their native environments, such as the Eclipse IDE. The latest features include integration with the Mylyn task based framework of Eclipse, publishing JUnit test results into Team Foundation for complete Java build metrics, and interoperability with Visual Studio 2010 Team Foundation Server.

“The Eclipse Foundation is pleased to see Teamprise continuing to bring the value of high-end application lifecycle management to the Eclipse community and bridging the gap to other platforms and solutions”, said Mike Milinkovich, Director of the Eclipse Foundation. “The Teamprise 3.0 Plug-in for Eclipse and Microsoft’s Visual Studio Team Foundation Server combine to offer a seamless, robust solution for Eclipse development teams.”
The Teamprise Client Suite consists of three Java-based applications – a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, a cross-platform Explorer-style GUI application, and a command-line client. All three applications communicate directly with the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and are completely cross-platform, running on operating systems such as Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows. New features added to the Teamprise 3.0 release include full integration with Team Build and support for Check-in Policies. Additional product information can be found on the company’s website, www.teamprise.com.
In addition to the release of Teamprise 3.0, the company also announced new pricing for the product. Previously, the Teamprise clients were only available as part of the bundled Client Suite, but beginning with 3.0, customers can now purchase individual clients based on their needs. For example, developers requiring only the Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse can now purchase that client for only $199. In addition, the cost of the Client Suite has also reduced for smaller teams. Full details on the new pricing structure can be found on the company’s online store.
“We’ve seen a growing demand from our customers for the ability to purchase individual client types, such as the Teamprise Plug-in or command-line client”, said John O’Neill, VP of Sales at Teamprise. “Our new pricing structure provides the greatest level of flexibility in purchasing and makes our product offering more affordable than ever for anyone wanting to get started using Teamprise and Team Foundation Server.”

]]>Please join us for a demonstration of the new features in our upcoming 3.0 release.
]]>“Our current release [Teamprise 2.2] is fully compatible with Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server, but Teamprise 3.0 builds upon many of the latest features added to the server by Microsoft, and also provides additional integration into several key areas, such as Team Build and Check-in Policies”, said Tonya Nunn, Customer Service Manager at Teamprise. “Teamprise 3.0 will allow our customers upgrading from Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to benefit from the latest enhancements in Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server.”
The Teamprise Client Suite currently consists of three Java-based applications – a plug-in for the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), a cross-platform explorer-style GUI application, and a command-line client. All three applications communicate directly with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and are completely cross-platform, running on operating systems such as Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. New features added to the Teamprise 3.0 release include full integration with Team Build, an implementation of Check-in Policies, and support for features such as Destroy, Undelete, and Recursive Compare.

]]>“Microsoft is adding several significant enhancements to Visual Studio Team Foundation Server in the areas of work item tracking and build management, among others,” said Ben Pryor, senior software engineer on the Teamprise Client Suite. “Our goal is to support those features and make them available to Java developers using our plug-in for Eclipse as well as Unix developers on platforms such as Linux and Solaris.”
Teamprise is planning to release a compatible version of the Teamprise Client Suite in the same timeframe as the final release of Visual Studio 2008. The company has recently joined the Visual Studio 2008 Technology Adoption Program (TAP), which allows it to begin using the current Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1 release of Team Foundation Server in a production environment, supported by the Microsoft product team.
“By joining the Visual Studio 2008 TAP program, we’re confident our product will be ready for release to our customers when the next version of Team Foundation Server ships, while also giving us the opportunity to provide technical feedback on the server to Microsoft to increase the quality of both products,” said John O’Neill, vice president of sales for Teamprise. “It’s important to us that every member of a development organization, both Microsoft .NET and Java developers alike, have full access to the latest features and enhancements.”
“Through support for Visual Studio 2008, Teamprise Client Suite provides more developers access to Visual Studio Team System, Microsoft’s award-winning Application Lifecycle Management suite,” said Ian Knox, Lead product manager in the Developer Division at Microsoft Corp. “Integration between Teamprise Client Suite and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server delivers a scalable, reliable change management solution to developers working on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.”
The Teamprise Client Suite currently consists of three Java-based applications – a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, a cross-platform Explorer-style GUI application, and a command-line client. All three applications communicate directly with the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, providing full access to the application lifecycle management features of the server from outside of the Visual Studio IDE. In addition, the company also recently announced plans to release a full-featured Java SDK for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, based on the core libraries of the client suite.

The new offering from Teamprise will be built using much of the underlying technology in the Teamprise Client Suite, a suite of cross-platform applications providing Java developers access to Team Foundation Server from within the Eclipse IDE, and on Unix-based operating systems. “The Teamprise Client Suite was constructed with a large set of core libraries and it is our plan to expose much of that functionality to Java developers in the form of an API they can use to build their own Team Foundation Server -enabled applications,” said Shaw Terwilliger, Software Developer and Project Lead for the Java SDK product. “Microsoft already provides an API to Team Foundation Server for .NET Framework developers, so we see this product as a way to compliment that offering and extend it to Java developers.”
Licensing terms for the SDK are still under consideration. “We’ve seen demand from customers who need to include Team Foundation Server access in their Java applications for resell to their own customer base, but there is also a need within the larger enterprise organizations for a Java SDK for creating Team Foundation Server -enabled programs and utilities for internal use only,” said John O’Neill, Vice President of Sales for Teamprise. “We want a licensing model that will appeal to both sets of customers.”
Initial availability of the Teamprise Java SDK for Team Foundation Server is scheduled for the end of the year. The first version of the SDK will focus on the source control and work item tracking features of Team Foundation Server, with additional functionality to be added in future releases. More information will be available on the company’s website in the coming months.
“We are pleased to see Teamprise continue to expand the Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server ecosystem by providing Java developers with an API for creating new applications that access Team Foundation Server,” said Ian Knox, group product manager of the Visual Studio Team at Microsoft Corp. “We look forward to seeing additional Team Foundation Server-enabled products entering the market as a result of this offering.”

Announcing the offer, Martin Woodward, senior software developer at Teamprise and Microsoft MVP, said “After talking with the CodePlex team we discovered that many open source projects would like to use CodePlex as their home but were unable to because some of the developers were working on Linux or the Mac. We wanted to remove that restriction. Since CodePlex is based on the popular Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, we decided to provide developers of this open source community access to the same tools we offer to the enterprise.”
CodePlex users wishing to request a complimentary license for Teamprise should visit the company’s website (www.teamprise.com/codeplex/) for more details. CodePlex users will have access to the full set of features provided by the 2.1 release of Teamprise. For more information on the capabilities of the Teamprise Client Suite, visit www.teamprise.com/product/index.html.
Responding to the announcement, Ian Knox, the group product manager for Visual Studio Team System at Microsoft said “Teamprise is a key strategic partner for Visual Studio Team System who work closely with our engineers to ensure that Team Foundation Server can be accessed from other development platforms. It is great to see Teamprise extend this added functionality to the community of developers using CodePlex for their open source projects."
“At CodePlex we want to support any open-source project regardless of their technology platforms. Developers can now use Teamprise to access CodePlex directly from the Eclipse IDE or from their Linux and Apple Macintosh computers,” said James Newkirk, product unit manager for CodePlex. “I am excited to see where the community takes this and what new projects will develop as a result.”
