Checkout code tfs from comand line

Question

I want to checkout the code from TFS from command line. I have integrated the TFS in eclipse and using java. I have found many answer in stackoverflow but every one saying about ...Common7\\IDE\\TF.exe and i am not using .net also in my visual studio 9.0 i did not find TF.exe.

Could you please help me in finding the way to checkout the code from command line when we are using eclipse and java. I don't have integrated maven or ant and not want to integrate it

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Microsoft has command line tools for TFS:

Also there is a plugin for eclipse that gives you direct interface with TFS quite similar to how it is in Visual Studio.

Answer 2

You want Team Explorer Everywhere .

This includes the Eclipse plugin, but it also includes a java based command line for Windows, Mac and Linux.
