The documentation I could find indicates that TEE is still the recommended way of integrating Azure DevOps Repos / TFVC with Eclipse (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/java/download-eclipse-plug-in?view=azure-devops)
However it does not support more current versions of Eclipse and the github page for TEE (https://github.com/microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere) shows that the project is no longer maintained.
So how are Azure DevOps users doing Java development expected to proceed as Eclipse continues updating but the TEE plugin does not?
If developers do not want to use Microsoft's Team Explorer Everywhere plug-in for Eclipse, they can choose to use eGit to connect to TFS.
This is listed in this document , I think you can try use eGit as a replacement for TEE.
In addition ,at the moment, the TEE plugin is just no longer maintained. You can still use that, or you can create the branch then commit some changes into it, thus you can still use this plugin.
As the git hub stated :
To make changes, you may fork this repository and build your own version of Team Explorer Everywhere using instructions below.
So you can also continue to use TEE by building your own version.
