TFS for Java Projects

    As far as TFS is concerned - all code is created equal. It's just bytes in files that it checks in to version control. The TFS doesn't care what language the files are written in.

Here are the some of the supports from java projects from Microsoft

TFS Plug In for Eclipse

This is also called Team Explorer Everywhere. This provides full source control, work item tracking, build, SharePoint, reports access etc. into TFS from Eclipse based IDE's. It's written in 100% Java and talks directly to the web services exposed by TFS.

With cross-platform command line client for TFS  you can talk to TFS from the command line on operating system of choice (Mac, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, Aix etc.)
