Turbo-charge Java application development, build and deployment in the cloud…with Eclipse! With the CloudBees Toolkit for Eclipse, developers can work directly within their Eclipse environment to create and monitor Jenkins jobs on-premise and in the cloud with CloudBees DEV@cloud and easily deploy those applications to RUN@cloud, part of CloudBees Platform as a Service.

- Browse source repositories, if hosted on CloudBees
- Seamlessly deploy applications to the CloudBees runtime services (RUN@cloud)

- Easily access the benefits of the cloud – resources are instantly available with no configuration hassles
- Faster time to market: streamlined development and deployment processes yield greater productivity

Using the CloudBees Toolkit for Eclipse
-
Monitoring On-premise Jenkins Jobs
In the CloudBees preferences window, click on "Attach to Jenkins instances not hosted on DEV@cloud..." Enter the URL and credential of the Jenkins instance you would like to connect to. Start monitoring the jobs from within the IDE.
-
Monitoring Jenkins in the Cloud
In CloudBees' Preferences window, enter the username and password for CloudBees and hit the Validate button. If an account does not exist, you will need to create one. Creating an account is a five-minute process and does not require a credit card - you are signed into the free tier of CloudBees. Once validated, start and monitor Jenkins jobs from within the IDE.
-
Deploying Applications to the Cloud (and Locally)
The CloudBees Toolkit for Eclipse offers two modes for deployment:
- Local mode: Right click on the application and choose "Run Local," in the CloudBees menu. This deploys the application in a local sandbox.
- Cloud: Right click on the application and choose "Deploy to RUN@cloud," to deploy the application to the CloudBees PaaS
