I try to install TFS plugin in Eclipse on Mac.

I go through the first steps of installation wizard successfully, but after hitting "Finish" I get the following error :

Installing Software has encoutered a problem. An error occured while installing the items

Plugin name is Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010. Can be downloaded here.

Does anybody encountered the same problem / found a workaround?

Some more informations :

  • I am using latest version of Eclipse Version: Luna Release (4.4.0) Build id: 20140612-0600
  • JDK is 7.1

  • "Details" are :

what version of tfs are you using (2010, 12, 13?). There's newer versions of that plugin available. that 10.0 plugin won't play nicely with tfs12-> if someone's specified some of the newer checkin policies it won't work. - timB33
Great! Indeed, as you said, there is a newer version of the plugin : Microsoft Team Explorer Everywhere 2013. I tried it, and it worked. Thanks for your help! - Teckel Cruel
