CollabNet is announcing Wednesday the latest release of the CollabNet Desktop for Eclipse, providing Eclipse developers with access to CollabNet application lifecycle management (ALM) tools for distributed teams.

CollabNet Desktop – Eclipse Edition 1.1 features integration with the CollabNet Cubit virtualization technology, giving developers access to build and test servers and environments allocated to their project, CollabNet said.

With the CollabNet product, Eclipse developers can from their Eclipse desktop track and manage project assets, Subversion-related activities and tasks managed in CollabNet tracker repositories. Also featured are links to resources including technical tips, discussion forums and blogs available on openCollabNet.

Developers also can search from Eclipse any publicly accessible community sites that run CollabNet Community Edition, such as tigris.org, java.net and dev2dev.bea.com.

CollabNet Desktop – Eclipse Edition 1.1 is available as a free download. The company plans later this month to make CollabNet Desktop available to users of the SourceForge Enterprise Edition ALM platform, which CollabNet acquired from VA Software in April. It is being integrated into CollabNet products.

Later this year, CollabNet Desktop – Eclipse Edition will become the first graphical user interface for the Subversion Merge Tracking capability.
