Microsoft has released a cross-platform plug-in for eclipse to enable easy connection with TFS. The plug-in can be downloaded from Team Explorer Everywhere for Team Foundation Server
Visual Studio For Mac Community
Do we use a bunch of different tools to handle these task or do we find a way to get TFS to work on a Mac. Considering the name of this article is 'How to use TFS on a Mac' and not 'How to use various other products to replace TFS on a Mac', i'm guessing you can figure which option we chose!
I had personally encountered installation error when following the instruction to install the plug-in using the zip file from the site.

My recommendation would be to specify the location of the update site in the “Install New Software” dialog.
The below is the step for installing from Eclipse update site, however there is a missing step that result in an installing error. The text in red is required if you encountered an error in installing.

Tfs Plugin For Mac
Hi Ferry,
OSX itself can indeed only read from NTFS formated disks, not write to them.
Only through installing NTFS-3G or the commercial Paragons NTFS for Mac OSX gets write access to NTFS.
While there is a way to convert FAT32 to NTFS there is no way for the other direction apart from reformating the disk.
But for 'uploading' the music files you have on that disk you only need read access not write access.
Or do you plan to leave the files on the disk and not put them into the iTunes library ?
Regards
Stefan
