TFS EXplorer Integration with TFS Preview Site from Mac OSX using Eclipse fails with error : The SOAP endpoint could not be contacted. HTTP status: 302

Question

I am trying to integrate eclipse from my iMac (Mac OS X 10.7.3) so that i can checkin code from Xcode to tfspreview.

I installed Eclipse and the latest version of TFS Explorer [FSEclipsePlugin-UpdateSiteArchive-10.0.0.zip]. This is successfully installed on Eclipse and I can open the Team Explorer Perspective

But when i try to connect to the tfs preview site i am getting the following error

The SOAP endpoint https://xxx.tfspreview.com/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx could not be contacted.  HTTP status: 302

In the login details tab i entered the following

Server Name : xxx.tfspreview.com

User Name: My windows live id registered with tfspreview

Domain: Empty

Password : My password

In the advanced tab i entered the following

Server: xxx.tfspreview.com

Connection details:

Path: Empty [At one point i tried DefaultCollection and tfs]

Port Number 443

Protocol: HTTPS

When i click Next I always get the error 

The SOAP endpoint https://xxx.tfspreview.com/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx could not be contacted.  HTTP status: 302

When I tried using http protocol i got a 404 error as pasted below

The SOAP endpoint http://xxx.tfspreview.com/Services/v1.0/Registration.asmx could not be contacted.  HTTP status: 404

Any help to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Version 10.0 of Team Explorer Everywhere is old and does not have support for connecting to the hosted service.

In this post, there is a link to a version of Team Explorer Everywhere which has support.
