Dear Amazon EC2 Customer,
We are excited today to introduce the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, a plug-in for the Eclipse Java IDE that makes it easier to develop, deploy, and debug Java applications on Amazon Web Services. With the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, you’ll be able to get started faster and be more productive when building AWS applications.
The initial launch of the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse is targeted at Amazon EC2 developers and provides basic management features along with tools for deploying and debugging Java web applications.
The AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, based on the Eclipse Web Tools Platform, guides Java developers through common workflows and automates tool configuration, such as setting up remote debugger connections and managing Tomcat containers. The steps to configure Tomcat servers, run applications on Amazon EC2, and debug the software remotely are now done seamlessly through the Eclipse IDE.
The AWS Toolkit for Eclipse is available at no additional cost for Amazon EC2 developers. We encourage you to check it out and contribute code to the project.
To learn more about and download the AWS Toolkit for Eclipse, go to http://aws.amazon.com/eclipse.
Sincerely,
The Amazon Web Services Team
